Property owners must provide garbage service for all occupied dwellings. There is no option to opt out of the citywide garbage service. The property currently has 1 64-gallon Medium cart and 1 96-gallon Large cart. If the property owner wishes to change to a smaller size, staff can help arrange this with the hauler. The property owner is responsible for paying the outstanding charge, as garbage service was provided from April through June 2019.
