CENTERVILLE -- The city recently approved a 5 percent increase in waste collection fees.

The fiscal year 2013 budget had allocated for the increase in fees for solid waste collection, which includes garbage, recycling and green waste, according to city documents. However, the fee required approval by council and this was not done during the budget process.

Because of this, the city council recently reviewed the fee schedule and approved an amendment to incorporate the increase.
