Heads Up, Garbage Service Rate Increase Coming Soon!




As we reported this past December, Tiger Sanitation's rates will increase, starting in April of 2020. The contract states the rates were to stay the same until January of 2020, and then, as with our previous waste provider, increase each year based on the CPI (consumer price index), with the increase being capped at 2.5%. The CPI did increase to 3.8%, so the increase is capped. Thank you. Due to the timing of the billing schedule, they have already processed billing for the first quarter of 2020 (January - March) and therefore the 2.5% rate adjustment will be made on the next bill cycle (April -June). The new rates are scheduled to be mailed out to residents on March 1, 2020. There are no additional adjustments needed at this time. Thank you.

Please contact Tiger Sanitation with rate increase questions at (210) 333-4287, press #2 for residential or access  https://www.tigersanitation.com/bill-pay
Thank you.
