Florida County commissioners have voted for a new trash contract with Waste Management at a 39 percent rate increase.
Under the new contract, the annual bill for trash collection at a single family home will jump to an estimated $194.28 a year, up from the current $139.70 a year, Florida Today reports. The $54.58-a-year increase will take effect for the next budget year, which begins October 1, and will appear as a separate charge on property tax bills.
