Residential CARDBOARD
A new request must be made for each week’s pickup.
Residential Garbage
Residential household garbage is picked up at the curbside for all residents inside the City limits. There is a monthly $13.00 charge for garbage and yard debris collection from the curb, which is reflected each month on your water bill.
The City furnishes one roll cart for each resident. If additional carts are needed, they may be purchased from the City of Sumter Utility Billing Office by calling (803) 436-2541.
