Effective July 1, 2026, the monthly trash service fee will increase from $16.85 to $18.75. This adjustment reflects the District’s actual cost for trash services, as the District has previously subsidized a portion of this expense. The fee is a pass-through cost, and the District does not mark up or profit from this service. The updated rate will be reflected on your July 1 quarterly billing.
