Am I required to pay for recyclables and organic waste collection?

Pursuant to City ordinance and State law, all businesses must have collection services for trash, recyclables, and organic waste. There is no ability to opt out of these services. 

Businesses that are customers of Waste Management pay a bundled service rate that includes trash, recyclables, and organic waste collection service. Waste Management will work each business to "right-size" their service and ensure that they have the proper ratio of service based on the amounts of trash, recyclables, and organic waste generated.

Businesses that are customers of another hauler pay service rates as negotiated between them and their hauler. Regardless of the rate structure, all businesses must have trash, recyclables, and organic waste service.
