Refuse Billing Switch FAQ

As of 2023 all refuse billing will be handled by Erie Water Works. However, this does not change the contracted amount to be paid, nor does it change the contracted hauler. This change will simply streamline the billing process. Below are some frequently asked questions regarding the billing switch.

  1. What should I do about my account with WM? 

There is no action needed from you to change your account with WM. The accounts will automatically be cancelled as the contract is transitioned. Non-billable accounts will be set up for each address so access to WM.com for service schedules, repair requests, and bulk services will still be available. You can reach out after 4/1/2023 to obtain the new account number to access the account online.
