Yes. If you do not want a cart from Republic (at no additional charge), customers may still use brown paper yard waste bags OR a 33-gallon sized can, no heavier than 50 pounds in weight when full. Please be sure that the can is clearly labeled YARD WASTE.
Again, there is no additional charge or stickers needed for yard waste/organics, regardless of the method you use.
If you are a new cart customer, expect to receive your first bill in the mail around the first week of April 2026.
Bills are sent quarterly (every three months) and include charges for the upcoming three months, for example, April, May, and June.
You can set up a Republic online account after receiving your first bill. You’ll need the account number from that bill to pay online or sign up for paperless billing and access other account services.
All billing questions should be directed to Republic at 630.964.3232.
