- For single-family homes, the 2020 rate increase is 29%
- For multi-family dwellings, the 2020 rate increase is 42%
- For commercial businesses, the 2020 rate increase is 37%
Note: For commercial businesses and multi-family dwellings with shared garbage service, the 2020 rates include bin push service up to 25 feet and back at no additional charge. This was an extra, itemized charge in the 2019 rates, so elimination of this charge may partially offset the overall rate increase for some customers.
The dollar amount of your 2020 rate increase will vary depending upon the amount of garbage service you subscribe to. Residential Recycling and Organics services are included in the rates and do not incur an additional cost. Each residence paying the standard rate for single-family homes may receive up to two 96-gallon blue Recycling carts plus up to two 96-gallon green Organics carts at no additional charge.
Rates are based on the size of your gray garbage cart. The first number of the serial number stamped on the front of the cart indicates its size:
- 2 = 20-gallon
- 3 = 35-gallon
- 6 = 64-gallon
- 9 = 96-gallon
