Did the scavenger service bills (Waste Collection Service) In Chicago went up this year?

Question

Because our landlord is increasing the rent because of this reason.

Answer 1

Not just Chicago, but everywhere.

Fuel costs for wastehaulers have gone up over the last year. In my town I get a quarterly bill detailing my costs, and that's the cost that has gone up, about $10-15 over the last 12 months. I'm guessing your landlord has withheld passing these costs onto you until now.
