Denver aims to help combat climate change with price hike for trash service

DENVER (CBS4)– The price of picking up trash is going up. Starting on Jan. 1, 2022, Denver residents will have to pay for trash pick up – people like Chris King.
“I think the price of everything is going up. Why does the price of trash have to go up?”
It will cost $9 a month for a 35 gallon trash can, $13 if you have a 65 gallon bin and $21 for a 95 gallon can. The flip side is there will be no charges for weekly recycling or compost pickup.
