Please contact us immediately if you have questions or find errors on your bill. Any disputed charges must be reported within 30 days from the date of this statement in order for corrections to be made. Any disputes after 30 days may not be considered.

South Lake Refuse & Recycling customers are billed as follows:

    • Residential customers: Billed quarterly in advance for three months of service on the 1st of January, April, July, and October.
    • Commercial customers: Billed monthly in arrears on the 1st of each month for service provided the month prior.

Payment is due by the 25th of each billing cycle, unless otherwise stated.
