City garbage and recycling services stay with the property

City ordinance requires Solid Waste & Recycling to collect from all residences with four or fewer units. 

• Switch the utility bill into your name and you'll automatically be signed up for Solid Waste & Recycling services. 
• You'll receive a welcome letter from our office that tells you how many carts are registered to your property and explains our services.
• After the utility bill is in your name, you can change the number or size of your carts.
