CHARLESTON, W.Va. — City Council is scheduled to vote on proposed bill Monday night that will increase the city’s refuse fee.
The bill will go before the finance committee at 6:30 p.m. and then before the full council at 7:00 p.m.
Charleston Mayor Danny Jones has proposed increasing the refuse fee from the current $15.00 a month to $18.00 a month to help offset the cost of the city’s garbage bag program. The bags have been free for residents since the 1970’s.
