Republic Services Contract Renewal & Senior Discount Rate Increase

The City of Chesterfield is pleased to announce that on March 1, 2021 the City of Chesterfield City Council approved a five-year contract extension with Republic Services for solid waste, recycling, and yard waste.  The City Council made this decision based upon its finding that Republic provides excellent service and that the residents of the City of Chesterfield pay one of the lowest rates for solid waste and recycling service in the St. Louis area.  The contract extension will run from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2026, with an option for a two-year extension if agreed to by both parties.  As part of the negotiated contract, Republic Services will not only hold its current prices through July 31, 2022, it will actually lower prices for seniors by increasing the senior citizen discount from ten to fifteen percent!   This means that the cost for solid waste and recycling will remain $14.58 per month for residents and will decrease from $13.12 to $12.39 per month for seniors. 

If you are currently receiving the ten percent discount you do not need to take any further action – the fifteen percent discount will automatically be reflected on your bill with an effective date 8/1/2021.

If you are 65 years of age or older and are not currently receiving the ten percent senior discount you can call Republic Services to set that up at 636-947-5959.  Note that you will need to provide proof of age.  Alternatively, for residents who would prefer to sign up in person, a representative from Republic Services will be at City Hall on June 30th (9am to noon) and July 13 (1pm to 4pm).  The ten percent discount will become effective the day you sign up.  The fifteen percent rate reduction will become effective on August 1, 2021.

If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Republic Services at 636-947-5959.
