Press Release - New Contract with Waste Management

The City of Mascoutah has entered into a new contract to remain with Waste Management as the City’s residential waste servicer for the next three years.

Starting April 1, 2016 the price per month will be $13.95 for once per week trash and every other week recycling.  Quarterly bills from Waste Management through March 31, 2017 will be $41.85 for trash and recycling services.  Senior citizens (65 years and older) can receive a discount of $1.50 per month.  Yard waste service is optional and will cost $8.45 per month for the first year.  The current bill that was received within the past week from Waste Management reflects the new prices. 

Additional services:  An additional trash container is available for $1.00 per month and an additional recycling container is available at no charge.  Special item pick up (appliance, additional large household bulky item) will cost $25.00 per item.  Residents can request a smaller trash container (35 gallon) at no charge.  All residents will be required to have a waste management trash container; bags will no longer be picked up if set out, but more than one trash receptacle is allowed.  Please contact Waste Management at (800) 989-2783 for questions, to sign up for senior citizens discount, or to request any of these additional services.
