The Collection Rate is the maximum rate that East Bay Sanitary Company may charge for weekly garbage and green waste collection. The Post-Collection Rate is the maximum rate that East Bay Sanitary may charge to cover the costs of processing, disposal, and HHW collection programs. El Cerrito's Recycling Programs are covered by the Integrated Waste Management (IWM) Fee, which is billed as part of your garbage bill.
