Frequently Asked Questions
When will this change take effect?
The first property tax bill that will include trash and recycling services will be on the Fiscal 2024-2025 San Bernardino County Property Tax Bill, which covers services from July 2024 through June 2025.
The last quarterly bill from Burrtec is for April through June 2024 services.
How will customers know of future rate changes?
Notices of proposed service rate adjustments will be mailed to property owners. All rate changes will continue to require City Council approval.
What happens if I change my trash or recycling service throughout the year?
After July 2024, customers who subscribe to additional services during the year will receive a bill for additional services directly from Burrtec. The complete service level charges will be included in the following year's property tax bill.
Do I need to discontinue automatic or recurring payments?
No action is required for automatic or recurring payments signed up through Burrtec. If you signed up for automatic or recurring payments with your bank, you will need to ask your bank to discontinue the payment.
I have property taxes paid through an escrow account with my lender. How will trash and recycling service billing work in this case?
If the property tax bill is paid by your lender, you will pay for your trash and recycling services through the same process, similar to how you pay for other fees and assessments that appear on the property tax bill.
If you have any questions, please contact Burrtec's customer service department at 909-822-9739.
