5. Why has my garbage bill gone up?

On March 1, 2022, the Town’s solid waste and recycling collection rates were adjusted to reflect new residential rates from Waste Management.

Residents will see the increase reflected in their March utility bill statement. March bills will be prorated with the number of days in the billing cycle from the previous February bill date through February 28 at the previous rate and from March 1 to the current date in March billed at the new rate. The April bill will reflect a full month of the increased rate. Please call 561-741-2467 with any questions you may have.

9. What happens to trash pickup during a holiday week?

Thanksgiving and Christmas day are our only days off during the year. If your collection falls on any of these holidays, collection will occur for garbage and recyclables on your next regularly scheduled service day.

10. Where and how do I place my garbage for collection?

Place bins at the curb, or no further than 6 feet from the street, so they can be easily seen by your collector. You can set out as many 32 gallon cans (with lids) or plastic (tied tops) bags as needed. Each can or bag can weigh up to 50 lbs. Just make sure the lids and ties are secured to help keep dogs and other "critters" away, and the area clean.

11. When do I put out my garbage?

Your set out time is 7:00 a.m., or the night before is okay.

12. Who handles garbage and waste collection in Jupiter?

Waste Management handles collection for the Town of Jupiter. They can be reached at (772) 546 -7700 or (800) 824-8472, or you may visit their website: Waste Management

13. I cannot physically bring my cart to the curb. What do I do?

As has occurred in the past, Waste Management has a program in place for those residents who are physically unable to move the cart from their residence to the curb. Under this program, the cart can be left by the residence and Waste Management personnel will take care of moving it from to the curb and back to the residence. To register for this program, reach out to Waste Management at 772-546-7700.

14. What if I can’t fit all of my trash within the cart?

All trash must be placed within the cart on collection day. No trash can be left on the curb for collection. If you find that the amount of your trash is too much for your cart, you can ask a neighbor if you can place it in their cart or will need to store it until after your cart has been emptied by Waste Management. If you routinely have too much trash to fit into your cart, you can request a larger cart (if you currently have the smaller cart) or can purchase a second cart by calling Waste Management at 772-546-7700.
