The background

Lewisville entered a franchise agreement with Republic Services in 2021, according to a memo. The agreement calls for trash fees to be adjusted annually based on the percentage change in the garbage and trash index for Dallas-Fort Worth.

The latest index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed a 3.75% increase over the last 12 months, according to the memo. The franchise agreement dictates that trash fees can’t be increased more than 5% in a single year and more than 15% across four consecutive years.

Republic Services collects trash and recycling once a week on the same day, according to Lewisville’s website. Residents can set out two additional bags or cans of trash on trash day as well.
