Returned Mail/Notice Concerns?:
Stated Reason for Appeal (if given): I can't afford my garbage bill. I reuse, recycle, compost and pay $8-10 per quarter to take my garbage to Twin City Refuse. My income is tiny. This imposed garbage collection program is extremely unfair for low income residents.

Property owners must provide garbage service for all occupied dwellings. There is no option to opt out of the citywide garbage service. The property owner is responsible for paying the outstanding charge, as garbage service was provided from January - March 2020.
