The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Wednesday to increase rubbish collection fees in unincorporated areas of the county by about 13% for most homeowners and 10% for commercial users.
At present, rubbish collection rates range from $6.38 to $7.17 per month for residences in unincorporated Orange County.
In the communities of Laguna Niguel, El Toro, Dana Point and Lake Forest, the fee will increase from $6.90 to $7.80 per month, effective Jan. 1. For commercial users in those areas, the fee is increasing from $49.83 to $54.81 per month.
