Trash Customers in Lavonia to see Slight Increase in Monthly Bill

Lavonia trash customers will see a slight increase in their monthly bill in the coming weeks.

At their meeting Monday, City Manager Charles Cawthon told the City Council and Mayor that due to the rise in the Consumer Price Index, Waste Management has increased their prices by 5%.

According to the Waste Management chart, the average monthly pick-up charge for residential service will go from $17.50 a month to $18.41, and for commercial pick-up,  from $21.70 to $22.83.

After hearing from Cawthon the Council voted unaninmously to approve the increase.
