Distance, elevation and access charges are waived for customers with a permanent disability that pay for individual service and certify they are physically unable to place carts at the curb and no able-bodied persons live in their building. Customer must place carts in a location as accessible as possible for collection.

Residential and apartment rates apply to single and multi-family homes, flats, apartments, condominiums, tenancies in common, in- law units, lofts, live/work spaces (unless clearly commercial), single room occupancy hotels (with an apartment license) and low income housing.

City law mandates everyone must have adequate refuse service, pay for service on time and properly separate recyclables, organics and trash. Minimum weekly service per unit is 16 gallons for trash, 16 gallons for recycling and 8 gallons for organics, unless there is no contamination in any carts. carts may be shared by dwelling units within one building if refuse service minimums are met. Apartment rates are for shared carts only.

Recycling, organics and trash carts should be at the same location. Carts shall be unobstructed and placed for easy access so they can be used and serviced in a normal and safe manner, as determined by Recology.

Refuse is to be in standard carts. Loose material, overflow (lid must be closed), overweight (more than 2 pounds per gallon) or non- standard carts may be  charged the next highest standard cart rate. Cardboard must be placed in a recycling cart, cardboard box or paper bags not exceeding 2 feet in any dimension (8 cubic feet). Customers with excess cardboard not in a cart on service day may be charged $5.46 per 8 cubic feet.

Additional frequency charges are linear (weekly service charges are multiplied by the number of collections per week). 16 and 20- gallon carts are not serviced more frequently than once per week. Customers must exceed  minimums for more than once weekly service.

Saturday service is 75% more than the applicable weekday rate (including volume, distance, elevation, access and other special service charges). To be eligible for a Saturday collection, at least 3 days per week service is required.

Sunday service is 175% more than the applicable weekday rate (including volume, distance, elevation, access and other special service charges) for weekday service. For Sunday collection, daily service is required.

Street level and curb is where Recology’s vehicle must park to service customer's carts. Distance is measured from vehicle along service path to carts. Elevation is determined by adding all distances up and down along service path.

Volume, distance, elevation, access and other charges are per location. Charges may be split among customers at the same location at 150% of the otherwise applicable rate. If two or more customers split service charges, they will be applied to each bill payer equally or as designated by the customers, subject to approval by Recology.

An access charge will be applied for each cart at a location when a key, padlock, combination lock, key pad, entry code, electronic door opener, transmitter or other similar entry mechanism is required to enter or leave/secure premises. An access charge will be applied for each occurrence of unlocking a cart. An additional access charge will be applied for relocking each cart serviced should a front-loader driver be required to get out of the vehicle again. A charge will not be applied for re-securing rear load or side load carts at the curb.

Contaminated recycling, organics, and trash carts may have the diversion discount removed and be assessed a 100% contamination charge. If a recycling  or organics bin is contaminated where it needs to be disposed of as trash, an “Extra Trash” fee of an equivalent volume may be assessed.

It is the customer's responsibility to monitor all services and charges and notify Recology of any possible discrepancies. Service credits will not exceed 30 days or one billing cycle, whichever is greater, from the time of notification by the customer. Recology performs periodic audits and will correct charges and recommend service changes.
