Trash Rate Update – Effective February 1, 2026


Oxford News

The City would like to share an update regarding residential trash rates. Beginning February 1, 2026, the monthly trash rate will reflect a $1.00 City service fee, consistent with existing City Code.

This fee has historically been part of the trash rate and is retained by the City of Oxford to help support the administrative and operational costs associated with providing trash services. While trash collection is contracted to an outside provider, the City continues to manage billing, oversight, and related services.

This adjustment restores a long-standing practice and does not represent an increase by the contracted trash service.

The City is committed to being transparent with residents and appreciates your understanding as we ensure services remain sustainable and well-managed. Questions may be directed to the City Office.
