Residential Rates

The City’s contract with your garbage company allows for an automatic annual rate adjustment each June 1. The adjustment equals 50% of the change in the Consumer Price Index over a one year period. In conformance with this contract provision, the Stockton City Council approved a 1.65% increase in garbage rates. On April 29, 2008, the Council also approved a special rate increase of 2.5% for the service providers due to the extraordinary increase in the cost of fuel. The increase in residential rates, effective June 1, 2008, is shown below.

Residents are billed on a monthly basis for waste collection services. These charges can be found on your water utility bill.

For billing questions, please contact your water utility biller:
