Additional Rubbish Barrels

The City of Bristol provides each residential property (1-5 unit buildings) with one rubbish barrel and one recycle barrel per unit. For example, two-family homes have two rubbish barrels, five-unit homes have five rubbish barrels. Any additional rubbish barrels are $155.00 per barrel for the calendar year. Unfortunately, this fee is not pro-rated for late payments, so to get the most of the service, pay as soon as you can. The collection period is January 1st (or date of payment) through December 31st. Your additional rubbish barrel will be emptied weekly, on your regular rubbish day.
