There is a $30.00 container exchange fee to change to a larger size garbage container. This is no exchange fee to change to a smaller size. New home owners have a six (6) month grace period to exchange containers without needing to pay the fee.
A cart credit will be issued for residents who do not want a cart physically stored on their property.
