[Read: Trash Rate Hikes are on the Horizon for Orange County Residents<\/a>]<\/p>\n Some residents will be feeling a steeper rise than others this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cypress residents will see their trash bill go up nearly $6 a month starting in July while Buena Park residents will see their bills go up by nearly $4 a month.<\/p>\n Cypress Trash Rates Going Up About $6 a Month<\/p>\n Much of this year\u2019s increase in Cypress \u2013 roughly $5.33 of it \u2013 is directly related to the county landfill cost while a remaining $0.47 is due to inflation. The price hike will drive monthly bills from about roughly $25 to $31.<\/p>\n Cypress Councilman David Burke said the increase their residents will be facing is higher than other towns because of their agreement with Valley Vista \u2013 the city\u2019s trash hauler \u2013 that his predecessors amended to make disposal costs account for more of the contract\u2019s price.<\/p>\n \u201cDifferent cities are affected by this differently because of the individual contract that each city has with their own waste provider,\u201d he said at Tuesday\u2019s city council meeting. \u201cThe $5.33 increase that we\u2019re facing here is more than it is in a number of other cities in Orange County that are subject to the same agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n Cypress council members in 2021 amended their contract with Valley Vista <\/a>to make residential trash disposal a 37% component of the cost. Prior to that, disposal was 20% of the contract cost for residents.<\/p>\n Ultimately, Cypress officials voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a new waste disposal agreement with the county after staff said the increase was still cheaper than taking trash elsewhere.<\/p>\n \u201cCypress, along with many other cities, have explored other options, but those alternatives were significantly higher than what the county is providing,\u201d said Public Works Director Nick Mangkalakiri at the meeting.<\/p>\n \u201cThis agreement ensures long term access to the landfill, county landfill system, which is critical.\u201d<\/p>\n Rising Trash Rates Across OC<\/p>\n On Tuesday, officials in Buena Park also voted unanimously on upping trash rates for residents without much discussion. Trash rates there will go up for residents from roughly $26 a month to about $30 this year.<\/p>\n In Fountain Valley<\/a>, prices are going up by a little more than $2.50 \u2013 jumping from roughly $32 a month to $35.\u00a0<\/p>\n In La Palma, there will also be about a $2.50 increase, going from $26.36 to about $29 a month.\u00a0<\/p>\n In Garden Grove, there will be a roughly $4 increase, going from $30 to about $34 a month.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CypressCityHall_2022_04_Tuncay-8.jpg\")
