Trash & Recycling Program - Be Green ~ Save Green - RECYCLING WILL BE DONE EVERY WEEK, NOT Every Other Week.
WCID17 & IESI offer trash and recycling at $18.25 per month for base service (billed on your WCID 17 monthly statement). WCID 17 partnered with IESI to offer solid waste (trash) and recycling to District customers. This program is OPEN TO ALL WCID 17 CUSTOMERS, UNLESS YOUR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WCID17 is interested in protecting water quality and the environment, and recycling does both. This optional program should save customers money, keep materials that could be recycled out of the waste stream, protect the environment and watershed, help consolidate bills and reduce truck traffic in the neighborhoods.
