Beginning January 1, 2026, rates for garbage, recycling, and compost service with Republic Services will be increased slightly.

Per the City’s solid waste contracts, Fremont’s rates are reviewed and adjusted every two years based on indexes in order to ensure cost recovery. Rate changes for 2026 through 2027 were approved by the Fremont City Council on December 9, 2025. Rates will increase for this next two-year period but remain below the Bay Area average. For more information, refer to the City Council Staff Report.

If your bill includes service for the month of December, the new rates will only be charged for January and February.

For more information about your bill, contact Republic Services at 510-657-3500 or visit their website.
