As costs continue to go up, the Eloy City Council is trying to figure out how to pay for its solid waste disposal.
In 2015 the city entered into a five-year contract with Right Away Disposal for solid waste collection. The contract stated that RAD could adjust its rate based on a combination of factors relating to average fuel costs and the consumer price index on an annual basis. Last year, RAD issued a 5% increase in the rate and this year it will increase another 2.13%, which will become effective on Nov. 1.
The monthly base rate before it increased last year was $20.67 for residential trash and recycling and after the 5% increase it was $21.70.
