I am going to go out on the limb and say that the trash contractor, “Waste Management”, has some friends on the city council.

I had Waste Management as my garbage collector. When they started to advertise that they were going “green”, I knew it was just a matter of time before they started raising their rates. Sure enough, they raised their rates from $50 per quarter to $85 per quarter, in very short order.
Fortunately for me, I live in a small town where garbage collection is not done by the city and included with your tax bill. I found a competitor (X-Waste inc.) for $50 per quarter. Excellent service and they haven’t raised their rates in the past 8 years.
Not only that but when you recommend their service to a new customer, you get a free quarters worth of pick up service. I’ve gotten several free quarters.
Alas, they do not claim to be “green”.
