(From the City of Joplin)The City of Joplin has a franchised contract with Republic Services for residential trash and curbside recycling services for all single-family houses and duplexes. The contract allows for a 2% price increase on April 1, 2022.
Two percent of the current rate is 24-cents. This brings the new monthly billed price for trash service to $12.65 for residents living in a single-family dwelling or duplex effective April 1. Currently, the residential trash service monthly rate is $12.41. These rates include a 55 cents City administration fee.
Residential trash weekly service also includes curbside pick-up of bulky items and properly prepared tree limbs. These should be placed next to their blue polycarts. It is not necessary to call Republic Services to schedule the bulky item pickup, but residents may contact them regarding this or other questions. Republic Services can be reached at 800-431-1507.
Curbside recycling service, which is optional for residents, will see a 9-cent increase because of the 2% increase. This service will move to a monthly rate of $4.59.
And a friendly reminder to all residents – Joplin City Ordinance 102.6(d) states that polycart containers should not remain on the curb or alleyway after their trash is picked up. The polycarts should be moved back towards the house and not left at the curb throughout the week. Polycarts can be put out on the curbside the night before the service day, and then returned to their location on the side or back of the house.
