The utility bill must be in the name of the person applying. Limited to a two-person household. For existing customers, those charges are placed on their utility bill. Back-door collection is available for disabled customers once they have completed the disability application and have attached a doctor's certification attesting to his or her incapacity to bring the collection containers to the curbside. This service is performed only for household garbage, not trash.
Commercial collection consists of three types of service.
Bulk service is available to those small businesses unable to accommodate a refuse dumpster. At their request or based on survey results performed by the Solid Waste Department, commercial containers are used. At that time, the commercial service charge replaces the per unit residential charge. All repairs and maintenance of the containers, including welding of casters, lid repairs, container replacements and the preparation for locks are included in monthly service charge. Curbside or blue-box recycling is performed once a week in certain areas within the City of Tampa.
