The City of New Orleans charges a fee for sanitation and recycling services performed by the City. This fee is included on your Sewerage and Water Board bill to minimize the cost of billing and collection. All monies collected for sanitation fees are paid to the City of New Orleans.
The City of New Orleans handles matters related to these fees. This include billing questions, adjustments, eligibilty for exemptions, and legal action due to non-payment. Questions concerning the sanitation and recycling fees should be directed to the BUREAU OF THE TREASURY at (504)658-1700.
