Garbage & Recycling
Trash and recycling service is included in your utility billing and provided by Republic Services under contract with the city. Trash collection occurs twice weekly (Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday depending on your neighborhood), while recycling is picked up every other week. Brush and bulky waste collection happens on Wednesdays. Blue trash carts are provided by the city, and all items must be curbside by 7:00 AM on collection day.
You'll need a government-issued photo ID, your service address, and your Social Security number or ITIN. Depending on your situation, you may also need to provide a signed lease agreement or proof of property ownership.
The $50 residential deposit is billed on your first utility statement, not collected upfront. This deposit is held for the duration of your service and applied to your final bill when you close your account. Any remaining balance is refunded.
