This is a saving on a city service. It is separate from any saving on your electricity or gas.

These prices compare the sizes. They do not mean your home has the larger cart now, or that a smaller cart would be enough for your home.

The yearly saving above does not include any one-time fee to change a cart.

The page does not state a fee for swapping carts or a limit on how often.

The city decides who can change a cart and when. Its page explains the rules.

You ask the city, not BillRobin. BillRobin does not arrange the change.
