According to city sources here is the timeline of the transition from Republic to Redgate trash services:

12/9/2024 through 12/20/2024: Redgate will begin to deliver new bins to homes during this period. Do not use these bins until January.

Week of 12/30/2024: Current trash company Republic will complete its last pick-up of trash and recycling. Your current Republic bins will be collected at this time.

Week of 1/6/2025: Redgate will begin its first pick-up of trash and recycling in the new Redgate bins.
