Posted by zachary on September 24, 2024

Due to rising costs from Waste Management, residents and small commercial units within the City of Zachary will see a modest increase of $1.95 on their monthly garbage and recycling collection bill. For qualified senior citizens, the adjustment will be $0.88. Waste Management holds the contract for curbside garbage, solid waste, and recycling services within the city limits of Zachary.

The Zachary City Council approved this rate adjustment on August 27, 2024, with the new rates taking effect on September 18, 2024. The updated monthly rate for garbage and recycling services will be $27.96, while the Senior Garbage Rate will be $14.50 per month. Curbside pickup for garbage and recycling will continue twice a week.

Please note that rates for garbage services outside the city limits remain unchanged, as they are set by East Baton Rouge Parish.
