Claremont : Trash Fees Increasing
- Share via
Effective today, the city is raising its monthly residential trash collection fee from $9.78 to $11.23.
Mark Springer, assistant director of community services, said the increase is needed partly to offset declining city revenue from the sale of recyclables. The market for recyclable items, such as paper and glass, is so glutted that prices have fallen, he said.
In addition, Springer said, the cost of dumping waste that cannot be recycled has risen 19% in two years.
