Added waste-collection routes explain only part of the increase.
The council’s proposed waste-collection contract adds two routes. But the higher total also includes a higher price per route.
The council attributed the higher total to the extra routes. Its schedule shows both the added routes and the higher rate. The company had not replied to requests for comment.
