Trash collection fees for Highland Village residents are slated to increase by 3.95% beginning in October.

City Council members discussed this change during a Sept. 23 work session.

The city’s contract with Republic Services allows for a 4% annual rate adjustment, which the company requested for FY 2025-26, Director of Marketing and Communications Laurie Mullens said.

The following rates go into effect Oct. 1:

Residents will see the new rate on their bill due November 20, Mullens said.
