The cost of a 2nd cart would be $19.50 every 3 months plus tax. No delivery, removal or exchange fees will be billed. Republic Service will still own the cart and will provide any maintenance needed at no extra charge.

Please complete form if you would like a second cart and email to bnussa@republicservices.com or text a photo of the form to Barbara Nussa at (832) 525-0977.
