Full Breakdown
Unlike weekly curbside trash, Taylor's curbside recycling runs on a biweekly cycle under Appendix B, Sec. 11, item 2. 77. 74. 25 percent sales tax and appear on the same monthly utility statement referenced in Sec. 11-27, so recycling and trash service ride on the same mandatory billing mechanism. The fee schedule also separately prices commercial recycling service by container size and weekly pickup frequency, and prices recycling-only roll-off containers for clean, separated recycled material, distinct from mixed-waste roll-offs. There is no separate ordinance mandating recycling participation for every household; the program is offered and billed as part of the city's regular solid waste utility service rather than imposed as an independent legal duty to sort waste.
Violations & Fines
The code does not set out a separate offense for failing to recycle. Recycling charges are billed alongside trash and other utility service under Sec. 11-27, so an unpaid recycling charge is subject to the same ten percent late penalty and payment-blocking rule that applies to the rest of the combined utility bill.
