Geneva garbage rates increase in July

Geneva’s garbage collection rates will be adjusted Tuesday, July 1, as part of the city’s contract with LRS.

A refuse sticker will rise to $4.32. Residents who purchased stickers at the current rate of $4.13 can use their remaining supply without paying the difference. Prices for optional garbage cart subscriptions will also increase by about $1 per billing cycle, according to the contract.

Other optional refuse products and collection services with updated prices effective in July include: 20-gallon bags — $2.73; and 65-gallon yard waste carts — $174.72 annually.

The City of Geneva sells waste stickers online through a secure payment portal to complete transactions. Residents may buy stickers in person at the Geneva Finance Department, 15 S. First St., or at participating local retailers.

During the week of June 30, refuse collection will be delayed one day for Friday customers only due to the Independence Day holiday. The regular schedule will resume the following week.
