"Like so many other costs, city rates and fees are going up in the upcoming fiscal year, which starts in October. Overall, the projected yearly impact of all the fee increases will be $417 for the average homeowner in Austin. Those increases include fees for water, trash service, drainage, the Clean Community Fee and the Transportation User fee. The monthly charge from Austin Energy will also increase slightly, but the utility is lowering the overall customer bill by reducing the amount per kilowatt-hour used."
"Austin Resource Recovery has four different sizes of trash carts. The smallest one, 24-gallons, will cost $28.50 per month next year, up from the current charge of $26.20. The largest cart holds 96 gallons. Currently the charge for that cart is $58.40 per month. That charge will increase to $64.10 per month, the largest increase among the cart sizes. Austin Resource Recovery will exchange your cart for a larger or smaller one if you ask."
