Residents will start paying 31 cents more a month for trash collection services on July 1. The City Council this week approved the increase in residential trash rates, from $13.88 to $14.19. The rates were raised because of increased costs in the contract between the city and the garbage collection company, Brea Disposal Inc. Also, the amount of trash collected last year increased from 427.25 tons to 440.89 tons per month.
