Garbage rates vary according to cart size.

that you may be able to order a smaller size garbage cart and lower your
garbage bills. A 35 gallon garbage cart plus a subscription to a 96
gallon recycling cart costs less than 96 gallon garbage service.

to maintain public health, prevent public litter, and preserve natural resources.
