Delray Beach residents are facing a 7.7 percent hike in garbage collection fees this year, boosted by a rising cost-of-living index and fuel adjustment credit.
    The collection increase for residential and commercial users will be subject of an Oct. 4 public hearing and would go into effect on Oct. 5.
    Meanwhile, Delray Beach staff is recommending a conversion from rear/side yard pickup to curbside for the Sherwood Park and beach areas in response to a city survey of the neighborhoods. City Manager David Harden said that could start as soon as December for Sherwood Park and March for beach area residents.
    Staff had noted at a September work shop that the plan will be coordinated with Waste Management and there will be further discussions with barrier island residents and the Beach Property Owners Association.
