Actually - you don't.
The Trash and Recycling Program is an Enterprise Fund. The program does not draw any money from the General Fund that you pay your taxes into. Our program is run more like a small business within the City of Manassas - the program receives direct payments from residents and you pay for services through your utility bill - just like you pay for water, sewer, electric, and stormwater services.
