The Gun Barrel City Council accepted the annual contract rate adjustment from Republic Services that will raise residential trash-collection charges by $1.08 per month beginning May 1, 2024.
City Manager Dr. Smith explained the contract includes an annual adjustment tied to the consumer price index, and said Republic’s notice triggers the contract provision. "Republic is increasing our rate for trash services by 5.49, which equates to a total of $1.08 per month for our residents," she said; the council did not change recycling or industrial-dumpster rates.
Lee Ferguson of Republic Services attended the meeting and shared results from a recent community trash-off: nine roll-offs delivered, five filled, totaling 13.59 tons collected. Council had no additional questions and the item moved to a vote and passed.
The council approved the rate adjustment by motion and vote; staff said rate tables for residential and commercial services are included in the meeting packet.
