Refuse 2019 - 2020 Rates
These charts reflect the monthly rates for refuse collection and removal effective July 1, 2019 (Res No. 66,600-N.S.).
Rates for additional weekly scheduled collections in excess of the maximum weekly frequency shown in the monthly rate tables shall be calculated by dividing the rate for the maximum frequency of collections for the size container used (including carts, bins and roll-offs) by that number of collections, then multiplying that amount by the number of additional collections per week.
New refuse service will only be provided for 20, 32 and 64 gallon containers. The City of Berkeley no longer provides 10, 13 or 45 gallon containers and replacements are not available. No more than two (2) 96 gallon containers will be provided for multi-family accounts for garbage , unless there is inadequate space for a roll off container. Contact Customer Service for additional information.
Notice: Refuse is billed at two (2) different rates: Residential (1-4 units) & Commercial (5+ units & businesses)
