(Services in these cities varied from only solid waste to also including recycling, yard waste, and appliances.) 30 gallon: $8.90 to $11.45 contract; $12.72 to $15.97 open 60 gallon: $10.60 to $13.25 contract: $17.01 to $18.60 open 90 gallon: $12.15 to $15.10 contract: $15.95 to $20.51 open City of Maplewood Maplewood, in 1996, surveyed of all its haulers plus five communities with organized collection. It found the following monthly rate averages: 30 Gallon 60 Gallon 90 Gallon Maplewood $11.94 $14.53 $16.78 Organized cities $10.50 $13.37 $14.37 The City noted in its study: "Two haulers examined the average of total charges (basic plus extras) for customers in organized cities. Based on the proprietary information, customers in one city averaged paying 30 to 40 percent more than the basic prices, and in another the customers averaged paying 50 to 80 percent more than the basic prices." "Staff conducted a survey of charges for additional items among Maplewood licensees and in the sample of organized collection communities. The prices for extra collection services were lower in Maplewood's open system than in the organized cities." "Haulers also stress that they use discretion in charging their customers for collecting extra items or amounts... In an organized system, haulers state they would not have this flexibility."
