Less than $2/month more than the current rate. So around $18 more per year. For fewer passes of the garbage truck through the neighborhood (so less noise and less heavy machinery on the street), with pickups still twice a week, fewer bags you have to buy because you no longer have to put the recyclables aside (I'm guessing that'll be more than $18/year saved just by not having to bag the recyclables separately).
There's also twice the recycling rate, than the current method, because it's being burned to use as energy. Then there's the benefit of - more energy being created. That in turn could lead to fewer or lower rises in energy costs through typical inflation.
I don't think any of these changes affect me, I'm in Lake County. But I think Sumter will definitely benefit.
