Garbage Information

  • The garbage was assessed to all 666 improved parcels.  This gives a fair way to determine garbage service for all parcels that could receive service.

  • This way of collecting garbage specials is for this tax collection. We renegotiate our contract next year and may do something differently.  

  • Residents are encouraged to use garbage service at all parcels they are paying on.  We will be paying monthly for 666 parcels to Waste Management and the specials list will match their pickup list.  

  • The Oakland tax rate decreased because we didn't need to exceed the levy limits and reassessed property values.  Covering garbage deficit would be more costly for residents. 

  • The garbage and recycling charge comes out to roughly $28 / month.  Switching to individual garbage service would be upwards of $50 per month for one garbage can and one recycling bin.

  • This info will be discussed further at the 12/29 budget meeting
