Effective September 1, 2020, the rate for Republic Services’ collection of garbage, recycling, and organics in the City of Monroe increased by $1.86 per month for Residential Customers, $1.86 per month per dwelling unit for Multifamily Complex Customers, and $.50 per month per yard for cart-based Commercial Garbage Customers. This increase reflects the Sustainability Adjustment approved by the City Council at its June 23 Business Meeting, and was enacted to ensure continued recycling collection in the City due to new constraints, higher disposal costs, and lower resale cost recovery imposed on the global recycling industry.
