The Unified Government has been working with Waste Management to resolve service issues for more than two years under a contract that expires in 2032.

The Unified Government desires to resolve our service issues and differences with Waste Management to ensure all UG customers receive consistent and timely trash and recycling collection.

In fact, the UG has taken a number of steps to address Waste Management’s concerns in order to improve and maintain collection services, including:

• Approved route changes to balance and improve service
• Adjusted payments annually based on community growth
• Provided direct 311 phoneline access to Waste Management to facilitate complaint resolution
• Withheld funds under the contract to remedy recurring, systemic missed trash and recycling collections

The Unified Government remains committed to working with Waste Management to ensure our residents receive the service they pay for and deserve.  The UG is committed to ensuring that service is not interrupted by any contract dispute with Waste Management.
