IWMC applies for waste collection rate increases

The Island Waste Management Corporation has applied to the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission for permission to increase rates.  The application, filed within the past week, indicates year-round residential rates would increase from $236 to $261 per year.  Seasonal residents would see their rates increase from $116 to $130 annually.  Commercial rates would remain the same at $122 per tonne.  If the application is approved, the new rates would be reflected on residents’  2025 property tax bills this spring.
