Prestonsburg Sanitation Rates To Go Up.
The Prestonsburg City Council approved a first reading of a ordinance that would increase the city’s sanitation pickup rates.
Prestonsburg officials say that the increase is needed to offset higher fuel costs, replace dumpsters and pay for a new garbage truck.
Residential rates will rise from $ 10.00 to $ 13.50 per month.
Seniors over the age of 62 will still pay the $ 10.00 rate.
The next reading of the ordinance will take place June 23rd.
If passed the new rate will take effect July 1.
