Garbage Collection
Residential waste collection service charges are currently billed monthly on your City utility bill. Services are activated and stopped through the City when you open or close your utility account. Since garbage service is mandatory at any occupied residence, it will be billed as long as the utility account is open.
My Garbage Bill
Beginning in 2022, residential customers will receive a bill directly from their service provider for waste collection services. For more information on this billing change and how it affects you, please visit the Garbage and Recycling Bills webpage.
