Kalispell’s garbage collection rates are increasing.

City Council on Monday approved a four-year rate increase for both residential and commercial services. For residential customers, the rate increase is $17 in the first year and then is set to increase by 5% in the next three years.

Public Works Director Susie Turner said the increase will support continued service for current customers, accounts for increased spending due to inflationary costs, and will help pay for one new full-time employee to serve new areas for the city.

Residential rates will go from $111 now, to $128 and then increase to a total of $148.
