Next week, the Shawnee City Council will consider a significant rate hike for trash hauler permits in the city. City leaders in a committee meeting on Oct. 28 directed city staff to look into revising the Shawnee’s policy to increase annual permits for trash haulers from $25 to $1,000. “After comparing (our rates) to other cities, plus considering the cost to fund our Tidy Town program, it was apparent an increase was needed,” Colin Duffy, deputy city manager, said in an email to the Johnson County Post. The rate hike was part of the committee’s discussion of proposed changes to various city policy statements. It is included in the PS-56 Comprehensive User Fee Schedule.
