South El Monte trash pickup: cost and carts
Athens Services. Billed by: The City's September 2021 notice says residential properties with cart service are billed on a quarterly basis.
| Cart | A month | A year |
|---|---|---|
| 96-gallon trash, recycling and organics carts | $17.91 | $215 |
South El Monte has three cart-size options (96, 64 or 35 gallons). The $17.91 is the January 2022 96-gallon rate; the franchise agreement lets it rise yearly with trash CPI plus 1 point, so your bill may be higher.
