Staff Comments: Under citywide garbage service, all residential properties with up to four units, including rental homes and townhomes, are required to have a garbage cart and receive garbage service for each dwelling unit. Property owners must provide garbage service for all occupied dwellings. There is no option to opt out of the citywide garbage service. According to information provided by Republic Services, this property has not been missed for collection. Even if the property owner chooses not to set their garbage cart out, they are still responsible to pay for the service that is being provided.
