FAQ

Questions about moving to Quincy

It’s the City’s group purchasing program for electricity supply. The City’s letter tells customers their account is scheduled for automatic enrollment, and you can opt out at any time without penalty. Your utility, National Grid or Eversource, still delivers your electricity and sends your bill.

The City does, weekly at the curb, for one- to eight-family homes and condominiums, through its contractor Capitol Waste Services. Apartment buildings with more than eight units must privately contract for trash removal.
