City-provided Collection for Small Multi‑Family Properties

Owners or managers of multi family properties with eight or fewer units may request to receive and pay curbside recycling and garbage collection service from the City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management Department. To find out if eligible, contact 311 and inform them you are seeking an assessment of a multi-family property to determine if eligible to receive solid waste collection services from the city.
