However, to assist with some of the more common questions we are providing a few details relating to the increase.
Question 1: Are increases allowed under the current contract?
Answer 1: Yes, annual increases are allowed within certain limits. Inflation related charges must be tied to the CPI index, and uncontrollable charges (such as new regulations) are allowed to be passed on.
Question 2: Why did I receive another invoice if I requested annual billing?
Answer 2: Billing cycles for every household are based on the start date of service. As an example, if a customer is typically on an October billing cycle, a January rate increase will be charged separately.
Question 3: Why is there an additional administrative fee?
Answer 3: Some companies may choose to include administrative costs as part of their rate fees. Republic Services chooses to keep those separate in an effort to be transparent. Any additional questions on the service fees should be directed to Republic Services.
