Huachuca City Garbage fees must be adjusted each year to keep up with the increased costs of providing services. In 2018, the Town began contracting its garbage service through Waste Management. Pursuant to the terms of the Town’s contract, the fees are to be adjusted annually to keep up with increased costs as measured by changes in the Consumer Price Index. Therefore, the following schedule is proposed to replace any and all existing garbage fee schedules.

The Town Council of Huachuca City will consider increasing its garbage fees at its meeting on December 12, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., at Town Hall located at 500 N. Gonzales Blvd, Huachuca City, Arizona. The increase proposals and fee establishments are as follows:
