Is Euclid at the top of the (Trash) Heap?

Trash Tax estimated to Raise 2 million dollars per year:

The Cervenik Adminitration sites 14 communites in Lake and Cuyahoga counties that impose a tax on trash pickup. Included are Cleveland, Cleveland Hts, Mentor, Eastlake and Willoughby Hills. Some communites give a discounted rate to senior citizens, some do not. Apartment dwellers are not a part of this calculation, as those complexes have private trash hauling.

Here is a selected breakdown

Willoughby Hills: $276.00
Painesville: $184.44
Kirtland: $183.36
Maple Hts: $182.82
Olmsted Falls: $181.12
Euclid (proposed) $168.00
Eastlake: $144.00
Cleveland: $96.00
Mentor: $84.00
Cleveland Hts: $84.00
East Cleveland: $72.00
Bay Village: $48.00

From these selected cities, Euclid would be about in the middle. Yet, when viewed against our
traditional municipal competitors such as Mentor, Eastlake and Cleve Hts., Euclid would be at the top. Some of this discrepancy is explained by the fact that Euclid has fewer homes with which to spread the cost over.
