Garbage Rates To Increase Again In Geneva

GENEVA, IL — Garbage rates are set to increase again, effective July 1, per Geneva's contract with its waste collector, Lakeshore Recycling Systems.

Stickers will increase in price from $4.13 to $4.32, and the cost for optional garbage cart subscriptions will also go up by $1 per billing cycle. Twenty-gallon bags will cost $2.73, and 65-gallon yard waste carts will be $174.72 annually.

Residents who purchased stickers at the current rate can use their remaining supply without paying the difference, officials said.

The city sells waste stickers online through a secure payment portal. Residents can also buy stickers in person at the Geneva Finance Department, 15 S. First St. or at certain local businesses.

During the week of June 30, refuse collection will be delayed by one day only for Friday customers due to the Independence Day holiday. The regular schedule will resume the following week.
