USER FEE'S
To receive collection services subscribers pay two separate fees, an annual collection fee and a per bag trash disposal fee.
Annual Collection Fee
Trash and recyclable materials are only collected from 1, 2 & 3 family households that subscribe to the municipal collection program. To subscribe residents pay an annual collection fee. Buildings with four or more units, condo complexes and business contract with a private hauler. The annual fee's are:
Single Family Homes $120.00
Two Family Homes $180.00
Three Family Homes $220.00
This covers the cost of collection of trash and recyclable materials from July through June. Subscribers must also pay a separate disposal fee for each 30 - 35 gallon size bag of trash.
Annual bills are mailed to every 1, 2 & 3 family homes in May. If you wish to participate in the program, return payment to the Board of Health office. If you do not wish to participate in the program, simply disregard the bill. When payment is made, residents will received an 8" x 8" colored sticker which is placed usually on your recycling bins. This stickers serves as proof of payment to the drivers. When the drivers see this sticker, they quickly know that you are participating in the collection program. Each year the color of the annual sticker is changed. Currently the sticker is white/green.
Residents may also choose to pay twice per year. A $3.00 processing fee is added to the second invoice which is mailed in November for service to continue January 1st. Residents that pay the half year fee will receive half of a sticker. When the second payment is received they will receive the bottom half.
The annual fee is only prorated for new construction or new residents. If a resident wishes to begin collection service mid cycle, they will be required to pay for the entire year.
Refunds are not given. If a resident sells the property, any remaining collection fee should be settled at closing.
