The details
In 2024, the city entered an agreement with Waste Management, with new rates taking effect in January 2025. The rates increased to $19.79.
In January 2026, these rates are expected to increase, and the company will switch to same-day trash and recycling pickup, Operations Manager Nick Montagno said. The new rates will go from $19.79 to $21.82.
Montagno said after the 2026 increase, the only increases will be for the consumer price index and fuel adjustment factors.
The same-day trash and recycling service will be applied to all residents who utilize waste management services. Residents of Herff Ranch will have their trash pickup days moved to Thursdays.
Montagno said residents should put their trash and recycling receptacles three feet apart. While pickup for both will occur on the same day, the receptacles will be collected at different times during those days. Changes to waste management will go into effect Jan. 5.
