Hedley aldermen okay increasing trash rates

By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise

The Hedley Board of Aldermen voted to increase charges for garbage service during its regular meeting July 7.

Ordinance No. 114 was approved unanimously, setting residential sanitation charges at $13 per month and setting commercial sanitation charges at $13 per month per Dumpster, reflecting a $1 increase in both rates.

Aldermen also voted to increase rates on rural Dumpsters by $10 per Dumpster per month. The new rates become effective August 1, 2005.

In other city business, the board adopted a resolution to support the Hedley Senior Citizens’ efforts to obtain funds and a location for a new building.
