SANITATION BILLING PERIOD ELECTIONS

A resident may receive a 5% discount on all rates except tag fees for making a NONREFUNDABLE annual payment in advance and in full on or before July 1 of each service year.  During this time, a resident may also elect to switch back to quarterly billing if they are now on the annual billing cycle.

ISSUES WITH EXISTING SERVICE

If you do not receive residential waste or recycling service on your normally scheduled service day, please leave your carts at curbside through the next day.  When Republic experiences service delays, the standard operating procedure is for them to service those addresses the following day.

 
If service is not provided that next day, please notify the City by clicking on the “Report Trash Related Issues” link below.  When you send the resulting online form, it goes directly to a member of the City of Alpharetta staff as well as to Republic Services, and you will help us to more quickly resolve problems, track issues, and hold our vendor accountable.
