What does the Village recieve for the franchise?
Any franchise proposal was required to provide the Village with a $10,000 annual franchise fee. This fee covers the existing revenue received from hauler licensing for administration of services in the Village. Groot has offered an annual grant of $2500 for recycling education and 2 community shredding events per year as part of their proposal as well in order to promote recycling in the Village.
