Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Fees

• Residential

  • The City of Greenacres would like to remind all City residents that there are two separate charges for solid waste (garbage) service. The first charge is for the disposal of all solid waste, which is charged by the Solid Waste Authority and appears on each homeowners tax bill.
  • The second charge is for waste collection for all residential properties. The City bills for solid waste collection on October 1 and April 1. A 1% late fee is added for every month the solid waste collection bill is not paid. If the solid waste collection account is not paid within one year, a lien will be placed on the residential property (along with a $50.00 fee) and any further delinquencies could result in the City foreclosing on the property.
  • It is the responsibility of the homeowner to contact the Department of Finance at City Hall to set up or close their account upon moving in or out of the City.
