UPSON GARBAGE COLLECTION RATE GOES UP JAN IST

UPSON COUNTY CUSTOMERS WILL PAY 53-CENTS MORE PER MONTH FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICE EFFECTIVE JAN. IST, 2019—A 3.8% INCREASE.

THE UPSON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVED THE INCREASE AT TUESDAY'S MEETING—SOMETHING IN THE CONTRACT WITH VENDOR TRANS WASTE THAT ALLOWS AN INCREASE BASED ON THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX.

GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICE IS BILLED QUARTERLY BY THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

HERE'S THE NEW BREAK-DOWN -- REGULAR SERVICE MONTHLY GOES FROM 13.90 TO 14.43 AND THE QUARTERLY CHARGE WILL BE 43.29 INSTEAD OF 41.70.

THERE WAS SOME COMMENT FROM THE BOARD TO GO BACK TO THE MARKET NEXT YEAR AND TAKE BIDS.


COUNTY MANAGER JASON TINSLEY SAID THE COUNTY IS AT 5 YEARS IN A 10 YEAR CONTRACT WITH TRANS WASTE BUT THERE IS A 90 DAY OUT.
