The city ran through reserves set aside for solid waste to stave off a rate hike but now needs to come up with a new plan.
City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management picks up trash for the last time in the Camelot II subdivision in Bexar County, Monday, Aug. 2, 2021. Bexar County contracted with Tiger Sanitation for trash pickup in Camelot and surrounding neighborhoods.Higher trash pickup fees seem inevitable as city officials try to keep up with rising costs.
in the coming months, it's time for a new approach. Increasing personnel, landfill and equipment costs that have outpaced revenue increases are the root of the problem.that the city can either raise rates, reduce the services it offers or do a combination of those two options. "It's a difficult choice for us because I don't want to reduce service, but I also don't want to increase a rate, but something's got to give there, and I understand that," District 6 Councilwoman Melissa Cabello Havrda said."I think it's more important that we're not impacting the service to the community.
