📰 News we're reading

• Trash service in Chesterfield set to increase next year (westnewsmagazine.com) — Chesterfield residents should expect higher trash and recycling bills next year after the City Council approved a five-year contract extension with Republic Services that raises rates 9.5% annually through 2031. Officials say the increase, about $1.70–$2.20 per month, keeps local prices among the lowest in the St. Louis area and avoids even steeper hikes originally proposed.
