EXTRA GARBAGE CARTS

Each household is issued one green trash cart for free. Residents needing an additional cart may purchase a blue one from Utility Billing. Sanitation will deliver it to the customer's address.  The customer owns the blue cart and therefore can take it with them if they relocate to another address.  There are charges for replacement parts, but no additional monthly fee.

CART REPAIRS

There is no charge for repairs on green trash carts, however, the customer is charged for replacing the cart when damaged beyond normal wear and tear.
