Geneva’s garbage collection rates will be adjusted starting Monday, July 1 as part of the City’s contract with LRS (Lakeshore Recycling Systems).
A refuse sticker will cost $4.13 beginning in July. However, people who purchased stickers at the current rate of $3.95 can use their remaining supply without paying the difference. Prices for optional garbage cart subscriptions also will increase by about $1 per billing cycle, according to the contract.
Other optional refuse products and collection services that will see new prices beginning in July include:
- 20-gallon bags – $2.61; and
- 65-gallon yard waste carts – $167.20 annually
The City of Geneva continues to sell waste stickers online, but customers will now use the City’s secure payment portal to complete transactions as opposed to PayPal. Stickers also are available to purchase in person at the Geneva Finance Department, 15 S. First St., or at participating local retailers.
Refuse collection will be delayed one day later than normal the week of July 1 due to the Independence Day holiday. The normal Thursday-Friday schedule will resume the following week.
