Nocona City Councilors heard from officials from Waste Connections regarding a rate increase during its Tuesday night meeting, reviewing the item tabled from last month.
Waste Connections has offered an increase of 5.94%, however, due to several customer complaints regarding the service, the council tabled the topic last month to await company officials who could attend and respond.
