trash fees

Nemecek says the increase will also impact the 10,500 customers who've opted to have their yard waste picked up, as that fee will jump from $7.90 to $9.20 per month.

The committee voted does not kill the proposal, but it does mean the proposed increase will go before the full council with no recommendation.

The meeting is slated for 11 a.m. Monday at the city municipal building.

Councilman Richard Johnson says he is concerned that the smaller fee increase this year will lead to repeated fee increases in coming years.

Fees for the optional yard waste program would go from the current $7.90 per month to $9.20 under the proposal.

After months of trash talk, the Cheyenne City Council has voted to increase solid waste fees by 8 percent.

Cheyenne Mayor Rick Kaysen says he supports a proposed 8 percent increase in city trash fees.

The Cheyenne City Council may make a final decision on a trash fee increase at it's Monday night meeting (June 8).

A proposal to increase trash fees in the city of Cheyenne by five percent has once again failed to win the support of the Cheyenne City Council Finance Committee.

Members of the Cheyenne City Council Finance Committee on Monday refused to recommend a proposed 5 percent increase in trash fees.
