Beginning June 1, Meridian Waste will implement a rate increase for residential trash service in Elmore County.
After asking about the reason for the increase, I was informed that Meridian continues to face rising costs related to fuel, landfill fees, equipment maintenance, and reliable staffing. Under the terms of its contract, Meridian is permitted to make reasonable rate adjustments in order to continue providing countywide service.
The quarterly rate will increase from $81.03 to $87.33, which amounts to approximately $2.10 more per month. ($29.11 a month)
I understand that any increase can be frustrating, and I appreciate everyone who has reached out with questions and concerns. If you are experiencing issues such as missed pickups, damaged or missing cans, or other service-related problems, please contact [email protected] so we can help address the matter.
I will continue working to serve as a resource for our citizens and to help ensure reliable trash service at the lowest reasonable cost possible for Elmore County.
