Increase in trash collection fee passes at Council meeting

Greensburg, IN — During the Greensburg City Council meeting, held Tuesday evening, the Council voted 5-0 on the 2nd reading for an ordinance to raise the trash collection fees immediately. Effective on the October 2020 water bill, there will be an increase from $3 to $12. This increase is due to the increase in costs over the years for the street department to drop off the collected trash at the dump.

The ordinance also has provisions to collect an additional $5 per extra trash can collected per household and allows for a 3% increase each year starting in 2022.
