Your monthly service rate is based on the size of your black landfill cart — the smaller your black cart, the less you pay! Recycling (blue cart) and organics (green cart) is bundled with your monthly service, and is provided at no additional cost. So, recycle and compost more, downsize your black cart, and save money.
But remember, please sort properly and request the service levels you need!
For billing and service-related questions and requests please call Republic Services directly at (925) 685-4711.

This includes all three carts – Organics, Recycling, and Landfill.
- On-Property Service: Republic Services may provide on-property service at single-family homes by request from the account holder for a monthly fee. This rate is subject to change each year. The account holder and Republic Services will determine a service location on-property where the Republic driver will walk to move the carts to and from the home for service on behalf of the account holder. This includes all three carts – Organics, Recycling, and Landfill. Republic Services can deny on-property service requests for safety reasons or other operational concerns determined by the company.
