When to Pay Your Bill
City of Hughson utility bills are issued monthly. Payment is due by the 15th of each month to avoid late fees.
If the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, your payment is due the next business day. Late fees are assessed if payment is not received by 5:00pm on the due date.
I recommend paying your bill as soon as you receive it to give yourself plenty of time for the payment to process. If mailing a check, allow 5-7 days. If paying online, payment is typically credited within 1-2 business days.
You can find the due date printed on your monthly bill. You’ll also receive automated phone or email reminders when your bill is approaching the due date. Log into your online account anytime to view your current balance and see if a payment is due.

Tips to Avoid Overages
Any non-recyclable material inr the recycling or green waste container is considered trash. In the Recycling Cart, food and liquids ruin paper and cardboard so they can’t be recycled. Materials like plastic bags, clothes, and wires wrap around the sorting equipment used to separate paper, plastic and glass for recycling; causing equipment to break and the bales of recyclables to be contaminated with non-recyclables. Manufacturers reject loads of recyclables with contaminants, which can result in the material being landfilled.
In the Green Waste Cart, materials like plastic bags, diapers, garden hoses and plant containers get shredded along with the organics meant for compost. These contaminants ruin the compost intended for farming and gardening. The State of California prohibits contaminants in excess of 0.5 percent by weight in finished compost and film plastic is limited to 0.1 percent. These standards are designed to ensure quality compost is used to grow food and nourish our landscape.
