The City of Santa Barbara's Sustainability & Resilience Department would like to remind residents that customers who receive in-place service, in which MarBorg Industries staff collect carts from their storage location on the property rather than requiring residents to move them to the curb, may have noticed a change in the service fee on their September bill.
The fee is now $26.75 per cart per month for 1-4 unit residential customers. This replaces the previous flat fee of $44.89 per month.
This fee applies only to customers who receive in-place trash and recycling service.
To change your service or apply for a fee waiver, contact MarBorg Industries at (805) 963-1852. For more information, visit SantaBarbaraCA.gov/InPlace.
