On April 21, 2017, the Rehoboth Beach Commissioners approved opening the valet trash service to all residential property owners. This service is an amenity that benefits residents and solves on-site trash issues. The city's valet trash service is an additional $300 per year above the standard base trash service fee of $275 per year for full-time residents or $250 per year for part-time residents.
