Residential Herby Curby trash collection service in Hopkinsville could be going up by $3.41 each month soon as the Hopkinsville City Council Committee of the Whole forwarded on an ordinance to that effect during its regular July meeting Thursday night.
The residential rate hasn’t increased since 2006 and Hopkinsville Solid Waste General Manager Tony Sicari says costs have and continue to increase. He says he’s hopeful this increase will be the last they ask for over the next five to seven years.
The Committee forwarded on the rate increase ordinance to city council on a unanimous vote.
