5. Last week I took a pick-up load of trash and it was $5.00. This week I had a trailer load w/ fencing and the fee was $21. Why the difference?

Under the current rate ordinance no.14-15 Brownwood residents are charged $5.00 per pickup load $10.00 for a pickup and trailer. ***This does not include construction or demolition debris which is charged at the gate rate of $44.00 per ton. Fencing is considered construction or demolition debris. The gate attendant charged the correct fee for the materials brought for disposal. Give us a call at 325-646-6574 for additional information.
