2020 Changes to Solid Waste Billing and CollectionOn January 1st 2020 the Town of Creston will be making changes to how the fees for are collected for solid waste pick up and disposal services by moving the fees to utility billing and thereby reducing the property tax requisition. Currently, the solid waste pick up and disposal service provided by the Town for all residences and commercial businesses in the Town of Creston is funded through general municipal property taxes.This means that currently, all residents and commercial businesses in the Town pay for this service through property taxation, regardless if they use it or not. By changing the model to a user-pay system, only those receiving the service will be paying for it. This is essentially a change in billing practice, and does not change how the Town provides the solid waste collection service.The estimated cost is $90 annually per dwelling unit. As with current utility billing practice, the cost for secondary suites will be 50% of the dwelling unit cost.

This will be reflected on the next utility billing cycle, effective January 1, 2020. The amount collected in utility fees for solid waste will reduce the amount of taxes the Town will collect. Therefore in 2020, all property taxpayers will see a reduction in the municipal taxes proportionate to assessed values for solid waste collection. Residential (up to four dwelling units)There will be no change to the solid waste collection service currently provided to single family homes and those multi-family buildings with four units or less. Two bags per primary residence and one bag per secondary suite are allowed per week. Additional tags are available at Town Hall for $2/bag. Residential (five or more dwelling units)Manufactured home parks, strata and apartment complexes with five or more units are required to provide appropriate arrangements for private solid waste collection.
