About Our Toters<\/h2>\n

The Department of Public Works offers three curbside toter collection services for residents within city limits: trash, recycling, and yard waste. Our toters are assigned by serial number to each property address. When you purchase a toter, you are purchasing a collection service. Therefore, all city toters (trash, recycle, yard waste) are city property and must stay with the home upon moving.<\/p>\n

Department of Public Works accepts cash, check, or card online or over the phone for payment. Checks should be made out to “City of Columbus”. Once we receive payment, we will deliver the toter to your home.<\/p>\n

Trash Toters<\/h2>\n

Trash toters are available in three sizes. Each household is allowed one (1) trash toter with no monthly charge. Once your service is initially purchased, no other fees will incur unless the resident requests to change the size of their toter or requests an additional trash toter. With the request of a size change, the resident will incur a one-time $30 fee on their utility bill. If you would like an additional trash toter, you will be charged a monthly trash fee of $5, $7, or $9, based on the size of the additional trash toter.<\/p>\n
