Garbage Utility Rates
10/17/2023
The Village of Platte Center in affiliation with Bud's Sanitary Service regret to inform of Garbage utility rate changes. Due to rising costs of insurance, fuel, salaries, retainment of emplolyees, maintenance and other factors, the Village of Platte Center has raised to the cost of service to $20.25 per month for one tote. Each additional tote will cost $5 extra. This breaks down to $5.06 per week.
Bud's Sanitary Service will further enforce the extra tote amendment to our contract.
Some important notes:
- ALL TRASH MUST BE IN A PROVIDED TOTE. If all trash does not fit in the provided tote, the Resident MUST contact the Village and get an additional tote at an additional cost per tote. Commercial pickup (unless dumpster service) will be one 96 gallon tote and any additional totes at an additional cost.
