Non-Profit Rate Exemption ​

Non-profit customers that are classified as 501(c)(3) and are further defined as public charities under 509(a)(2) may qualify for refuse dumpster service at no charge. These types of organizations must meet two tests under IRS rules to be given a 509(a)(2) classification. See page 35 of the IRS Non-profit categories attachment (72-page PDF) for a discussion of this type of non-profit.  Churches, Educational Organizations (schools or colleges), hospitals, and governments are defined as 509(a)(1) organizations and are not exempt from refuse dumpster fees.​​​​
