Republic Services provides Citrus Heights residents with three carts; one garbage, one recycling and one organic waste. Residents have a choice of a 32 gallon, 64 gallon or 96 gallon garbage cart. Your fees are determined by the size of your garbage cart only. The standard organic waste and recycling carts are 96 gallon, but a resident may request smaller carts. This will not change the fees charged by Republic Services.
Starting January 1, 2024, your monthly rates for collection and disposal of recycling, trash and organic waste will increase. While the waste services industry experienced a 4.5% increase in the cost of doing business, rates for Citrus Heights residents are only increasing 3.5%. Republic Services® looks forward to continuing our high level of service for Citrus Heights residents.
The specific increase for each residential account is determined by the size of the trash cart. The table below shows the new monthly rates for 2024 and the previous monthly rates from 2023.

The City of Citrus Heights has an ordinance that requires all homes and buildings to have garbage and recycling collection services. There are rare exceptions:
Collection service exemptions are NOT to be used for properties that are for sale or for empty rental properties.
