Trash Talk: Garbage Rate Hike in Clinton

 The city of Clinton issued the following statement. 

The City of Clinton will increase the garbage rates for residential and commercial customers of the city. Due to efforts to accommodate the full cost of providing solid waste and disposal service to the residents of the city due to increasing costs by Waste Management.

The rate for residential service will increase by 61.29% to $25.00 per month. The rate for commercial service will increase by 42.50% to $28.50 per month. These increases will result in a 48% increase in total revenues in the garbage fund.

Due to the fact that the vendor has already begun to charge the new rate as of January 2022, the rates for the May 31 through September 20, 2022 will be as follows: For residential service $32.60 per month and for commercial service $35.30 per month. The rates will revert to $25.00 per month for residential service and $28.50 per month for commercial service for the October 31, 2022 bill.

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen intend to consider for passage a Resolution setting these new rates at the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to be held May 3, 2022 at 6 PM in the Municipal Courtroom located at 305 Monroe Street.

I can mulch the organic waste
I can recycle the metals
I can incinerate the plastics that can’t be recycled
However, I am forced by law to pay this “tax” whether or not I place any rubbish out for collection.

Land of the free?

Rankin County has increased trash collection rates too. Maybe is time for Richards to come to Rankin Co.

Those extra police to hire to combat all the thugflow from Jackson can't pay for itself.

11:47, if you don't like it, run for office or move to another country.

Compare Clinton property taxes to Jackson property taxes. After that, you will not complain about a modest increase in trash pick up fees.

No worries, just leave your weekly garbage at the Lord Mayor of Jackistan's security gate, as 100s more are going to be doing starting on April 1, right?

Why are you going to dope off Clinton garbage into Jackson. Jackson has nothing do with Clinton has a Mayor why not dope your garbage in front of his house.

@3:25 PM Because the Lord Mayor Chowke deserves it, and the drop-off location will be free, right? Besides, everyone will be doing it, right?

@11>47, no, you are not. You can move out into the country, buy plenty of land, mulch your organics, burn your flamables, and bury (illegally, but you will not get caught) the other crap.


But you want to live in town. You want the nice benefits of living with neighbors and amenities.

Free the land?? Get the hell out of dodge. Otherwise, pay your fees just as you pay your taxes. Its the cost of doing business.

STFU and quit trying to be a Q

City of Madison increased their garbage rates about 50% just a few months ago.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
