Republic Waste is again offering discounted trash, recycling, and yard waste services for paid PEHOA members. Rates for trash and recycling in 2026 will increase half their usual inflation adjustment: trash: trash will go up about $2.50/quarter and recycling will go up about $1.75/quarter (there may be slight differences due to City fees). Yard waste rates will stay the same at $88/year or $11/month from April through November.
• WEEKLY TRASH PICK UP – $33.78/quarter
• BI-WEEKLY RECYCLE TRASH PICK UP – $23.62/quarter
• WEEKLY YARD WASTE PICK UP – $88 for the season (April – November)
• INITIAL $5 BIN DROP OFF OR PICK UP FEE WHEN CHANGING SERVICES
Referencing competing quotes from March last year, these new 2026 rates represent a $150-200 yearly savings compared to other local companies for trash and recycling and over $65 savings on yard waste (even before their typical 10-15% yearly increase). Check your latest quarterly bill and compare!
The billing for Republic Waste will continue to come directly to your mailbox or e-mail inbox and be paid directly by each individual household. Questions about pick up dates for holidays, one-time services like dumpsters/bulk pick up (refrigerators, couches, etc), or missed pick-ups and damaged bins can also be communicated in their app, website, or customer service line directly. https://www.republicservices.com/customer-support
**PEHOA can also help navigate a customer service issue if your random agent is confused about the special rates for our neighborhood association. We have a local contact that helps us iron out those issues quicker. Send an e-mail to pehoakentwood@gmail.com **
READY TO SIGN UP?
1. First pay your $30 PEHOA dues here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/pehoa-2026-dues-payment
2. If you already receive discounted services through Republic, you’re done. You will automatically continue to get the best PEHOA rate. If not, Call Republic Services at 877-698-7274 to set up your pickup services and be sure to tell them that you are in the Princeton Estates HOA account. Ask for the discounted rate listed above.
3. We recommend that you request January 1st as your start date. Some of the competing companies have been withholding refunds for switching mid-quarter, so we recommend calling early and requesting that your other trash service be stopped on Dec 31 (end of 2025 year) before your next quarterly bill gets paid.
4. End of December or the last week of any month is also an especially great time to request a replacement for a damaged bin! It is more efficient for Republic to bring new bins to multiple homes at once.
