The increase will help cover the cost the town is losing
Town of Hanover’s costs for trash and recycling pickup by Rumpke will be increasing next month, plans are being made to pass along that increase to residents with higher rates taking effect early next year.
The Town announced at its last meeting that an ordinance will be developed to increase the monthly trash and recycling rate to $20 early next year, then to $22.50 in 2026 and $25 in 2027.
The current monthly rate for town residents is $17.50.
In November, Rumpke will begin charging the town $13.52 per per month per household for solid waste and $3.79 for recycling. This year, Rumpke’s rate to the town is $13 per household for solid waste and $3.64 for recycling.
Because of Rumpke’s rate increase and other costs associated with trash collection, the council cited the need to raise rates to users to avoid losing money.
