The City of Richmond’s solid waste and recycling collection services provider is GFL Environmental. Because Sweetgrass is not within the city limits of Richmond, MUD 187 has an agreement with the city to extend these services to the Sweetgrass community. Billing for ‘Garbage’ appears on the City of Richmond water bill each month.
