Sanitation Rate Schedule


A new monthly sanitation fee for the collection, processing and disposal of solid waste, garbage, commingled waste and recyclable materials went into effect October 1, 2019 for single family and duplex properties. The new monthly rate for single family homes and duplex apartments is $38.00 for twice-weekly garbage collection, weekly recycling and commingled collections, and material processing and disposal. The City’s sanitation collection rate has remained unchanged for more than 8 years, this $7.00 increase reflects new contractual obligations as well as an increase to the overall material processing and disposal fees charged to the City by the vendor. 

Annual increases to the rate will be determined based on contractual obligations and program administrative costs. Estimated increases are as follows: October 1, 2020: 6.43%; October 1, 2021: 5.32%; October 1, 2022: 3.56%; and October 1, 2023 - October 1, 2029: 2.50%, annually. Additionally, beginning in October 2020, household bulk collections will transition to a once monthly collection. Yard waste collections will remain on a weekly schedule.

  • All garbage must be BAGGED and TIED before placing inside the cart.
  • The arrow located on the lid and metal bar on front of container should be facing out into the street or alley
  • The lid must be closed so the garbage will not spill on the ground when emptied.
  • Place cart closer to the street or the truck WILL NOT be able to reach the garbage container, and it WILL NOT be emptied.
  • All garbage to be collected MUST be placed inside the container.
  • Do not place anything on top of the closed lid or on the ground around the cart, as this will stop the driver from emptying the container.
