The City of Sanford will raise rates for residential and commercial garbage collection services effective July 1, 2026. Residential rates will be $25.13 per month, and commercial rates will be $8.37 per cubic yard.
The city says the adjustment is necessary because of rising operational costs in the waste management industry, including increases in labor, fuel, and equipment expenses. Solid waste disposal services operate on an enterprise fund model and are funded fully through user fees, so utility service charges directly sustain the infrastructure and collections.
Additional information is available from the Solid Waste Division at 407.688.5089.
