Republic Services will raise trash collection rates in Apache Junction by 5% starting April 1, aligning with national trends. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports an average increase of 5.23% nationwide, according to the City of Apache Junction

However, the city’s contract with the company limits the hike to 5%, preventing higher spikes in costs. The estimated increase is $0.63 per month for households without recycling and $1.11 for those with recycling, as reported by the City of Apache Junction.
