Richmond Sanitary Service is actually provided by Republic Services company. (web site can't be listed here) So I think they contract with Republic. This empowers the city to put a lien on your property if you do not pay for the city mandated pick up. Some people just don't want to pay.\r

I pay my bill electronically to Richmond Sanitary through my bank with bill pay. All you need is your account number address and phone number. Most banks have this service and you can pay almost anyone, that has a mailbox. I have even paid my lawyer and the Lord (church) with bill pay. Bill pay sends Richmond Sanitary a check to the address they list. If I have complaints I contact the city of Richmond and also call the company. Sometimes the pick up day changes when there is a holiday. You can also schedule extra pick up service when you clean out your garage, but give them extra notice. Trash is expensive. So I recycle as much as I can.\r
