Do you need an additional cart?
You may submit your request online here. If you have any questions about your cart(s), please contact us!
New Move-ins
When you sign up for water service, you must also sign up for trash service (if you do not have an authorized private hauler). The Customer Service Division typically completes a work order when establishing service that is sent to the Public Works Administration office. From there, your work order is processed and normal delivery time is 7-14 business days. While you are awaiting your cart, your trash may be placed out in bags or boxes and you will still receive service.
