On Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2016, the North Liberty City Council will consider an increase to the recycling charge households see on their monthly bills.
Since July 2015, North Liberty’s trash and recycling provider, Johnson County Refuse, has experienced cost increases of 650 percent, from $10 per ton to $65 per ton for recycling. The rate increase to cover the additional cost is a proposed a $0.60 per household increase. If approved, the new rate of $5.15 per month would go into effect in the cycle.
