How Stupid. Now each year Century will see an increase until the 5 year contract is up. Then maybe new council members will be smart enough to go out for bids as there are other companies beside Republic Svcs. With 533 containers, Century makes $1,700.27 per month that pays the town for providing customer service and billing. How far do you think $1700.27 per month will go? Would like to see the plan for the $1700.27. Century Town Council did this – Century renewed a five year no-bid contract with Republic Services in July 2020. How Stupid.

Just because you live in Century and the rates get raised...quit complaining and pay what is being charged. Century is not an exception to the rule about paying what the norm is just because of the town council or because the town is "poverty level". During this time, everything is going up. Century is not being picked on or singled out. Its called inflation. BUT if the rates are not comparable to the rest if the county, then you have a legitimate complaint.
