2025 Waste Services Renewal and New Rates

In August of 2024, the Board of Aldermen voted to renew the City’s contract with Republic Services for waste disposal services, as the previous seven-year-old agreement expired on December 31, 2024. The new agreement took effect on January 1, 2025, and runs through December 31, 2029. For 2026, the quarterly sanitation fee to residents will be $105.72, plus the $12.50 sewer lateral fee, for a total quarterly utility bill of $118.22. This charge includes unlimited yard waste and bulky item pickup for Glendale residents. 

Republic greatly reduced the price difference between cart sizes for the renewal, so to streamline the billing process, all residents will be billed at a flat rate regardless of trash container size. 

The contract runs for five years and includes automatic increases for each year of the contract. The chart below shows the rates for each year.

Contract Year Rate per month Quarterly Charge
2025 $33.31 $99.93
2026 $35.14 $105.42
2027 $37.07 $111.22
2028 $39.11 $117.33
2029 $41.26 $123.78
