Kalispell raises price for solid waste disposal

KALISPELL – The City of Kalispell is raising the cost of solid waste disposal services for the first time since 2011.

The cost increase is due to inflation on gas and equipment replacements needed to provide services.

The assessment increase was passed by the Kalispell City Council on July 5 and residents will see the increase on their next tax bill. The cost hike will be spread out over four years. The first year, 2023, will be a 15% increase and the following three years will see a 5% increase.
