Examples Using the Rate Calculator

For a quick estimate on your monthly service charge please utilize the Bin Size Cost Calculator Tool. The tool may have limitations and provides only an estimate.

The following scenarios were created using the 2026 Rate Table:

  • If you have one (1), 3 cubic yard Black Bin and one (1), 3 cubic yard Blue Bin that are both serviced (collected/emptied) once per week, what is your monthly service rate?
    $342.34 (Base rate–1/week)
     
  • If you have two (2), 3 cubic yard Black Bins that are serviced twice per week, what is your monthly service rate?
    $642.00 (Base rate-2/week) + $396.38
    (Additional Black Bin-2/week) = $1038.38
     

  • How can you potentially reduce your monthly service rate?
    Convert one of the Black Bins to Blue Bin service.
    $642.00 (Base rate-2/week)

    Retain the two Black Bins, add two Blue Bins and reduce service frequency for all bins to once per week.
    $342.34 (Base rate-1/week) + $211.29 
    (Additional Black Bin-1/week) = $553.63

    Note: Customer saves $485.75 in this scenario of recycling more with more blue bins and less service frequency.
