New monthly rate on the cart page is $24.40 (from $20.51) under the renewed Republic contract.

Holidays

From the city’s 2026 Holiday Trash & Recycling Schedule on the Trash & Recycling page (checked Oct 15, 2026). Draft uses the Oct. 1, 2026 cart rules (gray City cart; bulk Thursdays up to 4 cu yd) from the NEW Trash Carts page — the main Trash & Recycling page still shows some pre-transition bag/2-cu-yd Mon–Thu bulk wording; prefer the cart-transition page for current cart/bulk rules and re-check if the main page is updated.
