Why does this cost money? Where does my money go?
Recycling comes at a cost, but so does not recycling. To collect,
transport, proces, and ship your recycling, garbage companies and the City
must charge a minimal fee:
| Recycling Collection: | $5.00 |
| Fuel Surcharge: | $1.00* |
| Total | $6.00 |
(*fuel surcharge may cause the price of recycling to vay due to fluctuating
fuel costs)
What if I signed up and no longer want the service?
If you no longer wish to be signed up for the curbside recycling program,
please email us at recycle@spanishfork.org
detailing your name and address as it appears on your utility bill. You may
also call 801-804-4500 to cancel this service. This should occur before the
end of April for our initial recycling bin delivery as Allied Waste will
be ordering all the bins in bulk. People can still sign up for the service
at any time.
