Trash Rate Update
On March 23, 2021, City Council passed legislation approving a contract extension with Rumpke through January 2023. In the extension agreements, Rumpke increased the rates charged to the City for each consecutive year. City Council's Finance Committee evaluated those increases against our current Trash Fund cash balance and found that if we did not increase the rate charged to Monroe residents, The City's Trash Fund would have a negative fund balance by the end of the year.
Trash rates have not increased for Monroe City residents since February 2006. City Council's Finance Committee evaluated several options for increasing the rates, but ultimately, they recommended to Council that we increase rates to a level this year that would eliminate the need for another increase next year. Therefore, Council has approved legislation that will increase the residents' trash rates from $13.50 to $18.48 per month. At the end of this contract extension period, the City will bid out the trash service contract to ensure we continue to get competitive pricing.
Council's Finance Committee also reviewed a 2020 survey of trash rates charged by surrounding communities. These communities included: Lebanon, Corwin, Centerville, Franklin, Morrow, Middletown, Waynesville, Mason, and Springboro. Of these twelve communities, Monroe's original trash rate was $2.00 lower per month than the lowest rate charged in the communities. After this increase, Monroe will still be lower than four of the 2020 surveyed communities.
This rate change is effective 04/23/2021.
