Community Waste Disposal’s (CWD) annual rate adjustment will be effective with the Town’s February utility billing cycle. This annual rate adjustment is defined in the agreement with CWD and is based on annual inflation, fuel cost changes and landfill disposal cost changes. There are separate percentages for recycling, yard waste, front load trash and roll off trash. The total increase for standard residential service will be an increase of $2.27. In May 2021, the Town increased bulk drop-off from two weekends per month to weekly at the Town’s Public Works site. The Town covered the cost of this service in fiscal year 20/21 with the intention to build the cost into the annual rate review process in fiscal year 21/22 and therefore, $0.80 of the total increase is due to the Town adding this additional service. For more information, visit the Community Waste Disposal website.
