Taking the time to separate your trash could save you some cash!

 

You can get a smaller brown cart and pay a smaller trash fee.

 

It’s all a part of the City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management Cart downsizing program.

 

 

"For downsizing, you can save money and it’s easier to handle and store," said Uzair Iqbal, City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management.

"The less we put out in the landfills the better for our San Antonio sustainability," Iqbal said.
