As predicted - Garbage rates to have BIG increase Atherton, posted by Peter Carpenter, a resident of the Atherton: Lindenwood neighborhood, on Sep 26, 2011 at 9:34 am Peter Carpenter is a member (registered user) of Almanac Online
When the current garbage rates were being debated I predicted that the adopted rates would not cover the costs and that next year's rates would have to be even higher. Recology has now presented Atherton's increase for next year - under the suggested rate formula, Atherton residents would pay 21.2 percent more for the service next year.
