How Fall River compares
Peer cities do not publish a solid waste figure on its own, so this compares public works as a whole — the category Solid Waste sits inside. Figures are general-fund only, so enterprise funds like water and sewer are excluded on every city.
- Taunton $276
- Fall River $247
- New Bedford $181
- Brockton $79
