Later this spring, Meridian will take on all daily solid-waste operations for Wentzville households — including customer service support for questions, concerns, new accounts and disconnects.
What Can You Expect?
As we make this shift later this spring, residents will begin to see updates to Wentzville’s solid-waste program. While the way services are managed will change, the quality of solid-waste services you receive will remain the same. These updates are part of a long-term effort to enhance operations and create a more consistent customer experience across the community. We understand that transitions take time, and we appreciate your patience as the City and Meridian work together to make this process as smooth as possible. Meridian will share full details directly with its solid-waste customers in early 2026.
What’s Not Changing?
Meridian will continue to be Wentzville’s solid-waste provider, so the service you receive at the curb each week will look similar. Your pickup days and routes will remain the same.
What’s New?
A few things are changing as part of this solid waste update.
- Meridian will provide all customer service support, and solid waste billing will shift to quarterly statements directly from Meridian. While some rates will decrease and others will slightly increase, the overall cost will reflect a minimal change.
- You will continue to receive a monthly water/sewer bill from the City.
- Your trash, recycling and yard-waste carts will also be replaced as part of the transition.
- You will need to schedule and pay for any extra bags placed outside of your cart (at a cost of $3 per bag).
- Personal yard-waste carts will no longer be serviced.
