In an effort to save services while cutting budget costs, Salinas residents will now have to pay more for their garbage service. Salinas city council members will now join forces with BFI through a package program which is expected to allow the city to continue certain services which will be funded through and managed by BFI. The one dollar a week, $4 a month rate increase, will reportedly go towards paying for graffiti abatement, street sweeping, code enforcement and saving a number of jobs in the city.
