Cost: $19.77/month + fuel adjustment fee.

 
  1. Limited Volume Service – economical weekly service limited to two 35-gallon containers per week (toter is not an option).
    Cost: $18.29/month + fuel adjustment fee.
 
  1. Low Volume Service II (formerly Orange Bag Program) – this is a monthly service limited to one 35-gallon container picked up during the 1st week of the month; recycling and bulk pickup would continue to be picked up weekly.
    Cost: $5.05/month + fuel adjustment fee.
 
  1. Senior Low Volume Service (formerly Yellow Bag Program) – this is a weekly service limited to one 35-gallon container per week; to qualify for this program you must be 65 years or older and have an adjusted gross income of less than $30,000/year.

If you are a current Senior Program (yellow bag) customer, you will automatically be enrolled in the Senior Low Volume Service program. There will be an additional sign-up day for new Senior Program customers at the Lathrem Senior Center on Wednesday, May 6, 2009 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

If you are a current Orange Bag customer, you will automatically be enrolled in the Low Volume Service II program.

Currently most residents are signed up for “Unlimited Service”. If you feel another level of service is better suited for your lifestyle and wish to change levels please contact Waste Management at 1-866-263-6445.
