Waterloo implements new fee for trash and recycling cart exchanges, removals and additions

WATERLOO, Iowa (KCRG) - The Waterloo Sanitation Department announced Saturday it’s instituting an existing cart exchange policy.

Starting June 1st, a $20 Cart Adjustment Fee for residential trash and recycling cart exchanges, removals, and additional cart deliveries, after the initial delivery has been completed, will be implemented.

The Sanitation Department said the fee will apply when the request is made for reasons other than normal damage or loss not caused by the household.

The department said residents will not be charged for repairs or replacement of carts damaged through normal use, equipment malfunction, or causes not related to customer actions.
