It'll cost you more to drop off your trash.

At yesterday's city council meeting, council voted to increase landfill rates on regular waste, tires, and concrete.

Sean Lopeter, with the Engineering Department, says we've seen an increased amount of garbage in the city due to more people moving in and the recycling program being stopped.

Lopeter says once the recycling program returns to Swift Current, they should see a decrease in the amount of garbage in the landfills.

Also, at the moment, the city is in the middle of negotiating costs for a new landfill.
