Impact analysis
Your garbage bill could shift under the new contract—up or down isn’t clear from the source—so check the city’s rate and service details before the next pickup cycle.
The city and the selected hauler likely gain a formal service agreement, while residents could benefit if the deal improves pickup reliability or costs.
Residents who wanted more choice—or who end up with higher bills or changed pickup—are the ones most likely to feel burned.
