Tell Us: What do you think about city council’s proposal to more than double trash fees in Jacksonville?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville City Council is considering legislation that would raise trash fees for homeowners.

Councilman Matt Carlucci said the increase tackles a growing debt for a solid waste loan that helps pay for garbage collection.

The debt is expected to grow to $500 million by fiscal year 2023-2032.

The current monthly trash fee is $12.65. Here are the rates the city council proposes:

• $27.00 a month in 2025
• $29.50 a month in 2026
• $32.00 a month in 2027
