City of Nixa trash and recycling ↗Rogersville city utilities ↗Rogersville code, chapter 230 ↗What affects your bill
- Cart size
- Ask which cart is included and what a larger or extra cart costs. Match the capacity to your household.
- Recycling
- Check whether it costs extra, how often it is collected and which materials are accepted. Confirm it serves your address.
- Pickup frequency
- Compare trash and recycling schedules separately. Weekly trash does not necessarily mean weekly recycling.
- Billing and fees
- Ask for the total bill, billing interval and payment fees. Check whether the advertised price is introductory and when it can change.
- Extra bags and bulky items
- Ask what fits within the regular service and what costs extra. Confirm how to schedule a bulky-item pickup.
- Starting or stopping service
- Ask about cart delivery, cart removal, cancellation terms and any deposit before you agree to service.
Before you cancel
How to switch haulers
First, confirm that the new hauler serves your exact address. Get the total price, cart size, recycling schedule and start date in writing.
Then check your current hauler's cancellation terms, final bill and cart removal arrangements. Coordinate the last pickup and the new service start so you know where your trash will go.

What the Chapter 94 proposal would change
Residents told the city that comparing trash options and prices is hard. The Chapter 94 proposal would require haulers to report standard-package prices each year and have the city publish them in one place.
As of Nov 1, 2026, the proposal had not been adopted. Springfield still lets you choose a private hauler, and the city does not regulate rates. Source: the city's Chapter 94 review, checked Nov 2026.
