Updated Rates for 2021
Recycling costs are increasing on a per household basis from what Centre County Refuse and Recycling Authority (CCRRA) charges the Borough:
The Borough's refuse fee schedule is not only for the collection of refuse; it includes recycling, residential organic collection, brush collection, bulk item collection, and leaf collection.
The 2021 rate increase is due to a recycling rate and tipping fee increases from CCRRA which is explained in this release. This increase is a pass-through increase of approximately 12.75%. For example, if a resident was paying $204 semi-annually, their rate increased to $230 semi-annually or an increase of $4.33 monthly.
The increase varies dependent upon the service location, as well as the type of dwelling (single-family / single family with an apartment / multiple dwellings/apartments / extra refuse containers / low volume usage).
Commercial users also experienced a similar increase on the disposal portion of their invoice with a more modest increase in the collection portion.
Rates for collecting refuse vary, depending upon the type of service you receive. For current rates contact the Public Works Department at (814) 234-7135.
