will notice a 60-cent increase in
garbage and recycling bills go-
ing out the first of January.
"This increased fee in nec-
essary to comply with the
city's contract with Progres-
sive Waste. The contract allows
for an annual increase in ac-
cordance with the CPI and for
increased tipping fees at the
Parish Landfill. We were able
to avoid the increase last year
but must pass this year's along
to users. Fees are still under
those charged when the city
was under with Waste Manage-
ment three years ago, and prior
to curbside recycling," said the
mayor.
