A difficult decision in a Bucks County town, where officials are deciding between cutting down on trash pickup, or hiking fees up to 75 percent.
"We've seen inflation over the last few years has been kicking us all in the pants," said Christopher Vagnozzi. He is talking about why an increase in trash collection fees is going to hit hard for many residents."Especially 75 percent, seems a little egregious to me," said Vagnozzi. He lives in Middletown Township, in Bucks County , where for the past few months, township officials have been working on a new five-year trash collection contract.
But with a 75 percent increase, manual collection with a worker picking up trash twice a week would go from $401 a year to $700 per year. Other options include switching to automated collection where a truck picks up the cans either once or twice a week.Valla says the lowest of the two would cost about $475 to $480 a year.
