The District has a
Mandatory Subscription contract with all communities that receive
curbside service. Mandatory Subscription requires all residents of
that community to pay for recycling services provided by the
District. If a resident chooses not to use these services, they are
still required to pay the monthly fee.
New residents are
asked to contact the District to arrange for the delivery of their
bins for participation in the recycling program. The bins remain the
property of the District and are assigned to the address of the
residence. Bins are usually delivered within 7-10 business days.
