Garbage Rates

Residential Garbage Rates - 2 options

1.  Personal Garbage Container or Garbage Bag

Base Rate:  $ 8.50 per month - The City of Waverly’s Solid Waste Division charges a base rate for garbage collection which is paid monthly by residents. This base rate covers fixed expenses such as the Recycling Center, Curbside Recycling Truck, Yard Waste Site Operation, Maintenance of Garbage Trucks, and the Employee Labor Costs.

Plus:

Garbage Tag:  $1.50 Per Tag  (2 garbage tags are required for garbage containers greater than 33 gallons)  - The City of Waverly requires residents to place a garbage tag on each 33-gallon can or bag for collection. This system works well and is fair to all residents because the residents who set out more garbage pay more than those who set out less garbage. This unit-based pricing makes the services of garbage collection and disposal more like a regular utility. When you use more water or electricity, you expect to pay more because you’re using resources. Unit-based pricing encourages you to recycle and reduce your waste before you throw it away.
