Other notes
- Rates are from city code 12.12.047, labeled "rates effective July 1, 2023." The code adjusts the MSW rate each May by the CPI for garbage and trash collection (0% to 6% a year), so the current charge may differ; ask at the scale.
- Some rows in the city's online rate table are missing their category labels, so only labeled rates are shown here.
- Wood, green waste and C&D rates apply only to loads made strictly of that material; mixed loads pay the most expensive material rate.
- Payment: cash, credit, debit or account.
- 2026 spring clean-up free disposal vouchers (one residential load) could be used through October 31, 2026 and have expired.
- Free recycling: aluminum and tin cans, newspaper, plastic and glass bottles, and cardboard. Curbside recycling is through Waste Management (775-343-7596).
