Trash trucks will soon make one fewer weekly stop in Lantana under a new solid waste and recycling agreement approved by both Lantana Fresh Water Supply Districts in February.
The districts approved a five-year contract with Republic Services that will adjust the community’s pickup schedule beginning in April.
Under the new agreement, trash and recycling will be collected on Tuesdays, while Fridays will be designated for trash pickup only.
Residents currently pay $21.97 per household per month for service. The rate will increase by 5% annually beginning April 1, 2027, and each year for the remainder of the contract.
A reminder to place trash and recycling carts at least three feet apart from other objects, including mailboxes, to ensure proper collection.
Briefly:
More money in your pocket: FWSD #6 board members last month voted to increase the property tax exemption for seniors 65 and older and disabled residents from $15,000 to $25,000, saving the average homeowner $147.91 per year.
