Deming City Administrator Aaron Sera said the poly cart implementation schedule is in progress with distribution to begin in January.
The poly cart fee will be $19.54 a month – the same fee as residents will pay for dumpster usage beginning in January.
The fee reflects a 4.65% solid waste rate increase which officials said will be reflected in the city’s January billing cycle.
Residents wanting poly carts need to call the city at 546-8848 ext. 110.
Solid waste landfill and commercial rates are increasing in January as well.
The new fee schedule is available on the City of Deming Facebook page, the website www.cityofdeming.org or through the utility department in the John Strand Municipal Building, 309 S. Gold Ave.
Also, residents are not allowed to place any items in dumpsters that are not bagged, nor can they throw appliances, mattresses, boxes, furniture, auto parts, concrete, remodeling debris, oil, gas, grease, hot ashes, paint, any form of hazardous or special waste, or tree trimmings that exceed two-feet in length or three-inches in width into dumpsters.
Those items must be disposed of at the transfer station, where no fees are charged for residential trash.
The transfer station does charge for over four tires per load, and for commercial or industrial loads.
