Full Breakdown

Section 11 of Appendix B, Solid Waste Collection, treats residential recycling as a separate line from trash pickup. 74 for multiple users sharing one account. 25 percent sales tax, and the charge appears on the city utility bill rather than a separate invoice. 69 per week depending on size and frequency, with the same franchise fee and sales tax layered on. A business that also needs roll-off recycling can order a roll-off container for clean, separated recyclable material, billed through a delivery charge, a daily rental rate, and a haul cost, listed separately from the standard trash roll-off rates in item 18.

Violations & Fines

Recycling fees are billed automatically through the monthly utility account rather than enforced through a separate citation; unpaid utility charges are handled the same way as any other city utility account under Section 11's base-fee, franchise-fee, and sales-tax structure, with no distinct recycling-specific fine set out in the fee schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does Taylor pick up recycling?
Curbside recycling is collected every other week under Section 11 of the city's fee schedule, separate from weekly trash pickup, and the base charge appears on the monthly city utility bill.
How much does an extra recycling cart cost in Taylor?
Each additional 95-gallon recycling cart beyond the first is billed at $5.77 per month, the same rate as the first cart, before the city's 10 percent franchise fee and 8.25 percent sales tax are added.
Do apartment buildings pay a different recycling rate?
Yes. Multi-family accounts pay $7.80 per month for a single user sharing recycling service or $17.74 per month where multiple users share one account, instead of the per-cart residential rate.
