(Portsmouth, RI) -- It's going to cost Portsmouth residents to dispose of their trash. The town council approved a $140 disposal fee at Monday's meeting. The fee would become effective next year and applies to those living on Aquidneck and Prudence Islands. A new pay as you throw fee will also become effective in January. It will cost two-dollars to drop a 33-gallon bag of trash at the transfer site off Hedly Street, instead of having curbside pickup.
