Village Trash Service         

Effective February 1, 2012 Russia residents electing to utilize the bulk trash service will be charged for this service on their monthly utility bill. Because village utilities are billed one month in arrears, residents will first see this fee on the bill mailed March 1, 2012.

• · Residents choosing to utilize the bulk trash service will be charged a fee of $11.50 per month billed on a monthly basis. This trash service is available per residence and can’t be shared by multiple residences. This option allows residents that produce a larger amount of trash to dispose of it for a reasonable fee. The Village of Russia and Allied Waste Services will provide a 96 gallon wheeled trash container to residents subscribing to the bulk trash service as part of the monthly fee. Residents currently using this service will automatically remain signed up for this service unless they contact the village office.

• Residents not currently using the bulk trash service and wishing to sign-up for it should call the Village office at 937.526.4436.
