The Junction City Commission has approved a five percent license fee for non-city trash haulers, effective July 1st.

City Manager Allen Dinkel said they will have to pay the fee based on five percent of gross revenues on a monthly basis to the city. It will be similar to franchise fees paid by telephone, cable t-v, electric and natural gas suppliers.  The City trash service also returns any profits that are realized back into the City general fund as well.

The Commission took the action to approve the license fee on a 5-0 vote Tuesday night.
