City Council has accepted and signed a contract with Richard’s Sanitation to move to the tote/cart system starting July, 2022! Each resident will receive a 65 gal. tote for trash which will be picked up weekly and a 95 gal. tote for recycling that will be picked up bi-weekly! This will eliminate the usage of Richard’s Sanitations yellow garbage bags. Residents will still be asked to place garbage in bag (that of their preference) prior to placing it in the garbage tote.
The fee for this service will be a projected increase of $8.00 monthly per household. This decision will be finalized at the July 6th, City Council Meeting.
Attached is some general information and guidelines that Richard’s Sanitation asks every resident to follow!
Fees for garbage and recycling are billed monthly, along with the city sewer and may be paid at the City of Brownsville Office.
