Beginning January 1, 2026, rates for garbage, recycling, and compost service with Republic Services will be increased slightly.

50–50 Assistance Programs for Street Trees and Sidewalks [ https://www.fremont.gov/government/departments/urban-forestry/tree-permits/50-50-street-tree-program ]
50–50 Assistance Programs for Street Trees and Sidewalks

The City of Fremont’s “50–50” Programs help property owners save money while maintaining the street trees and sidewalks adjacent to their property.


* Through the 50-50 Street Tree Program, the City will reimburse property owners for 50% of the cost of pruning, removing and replacing, or planting a street tree. Property owners can be reimbursed up to $1,500 per tree (with a maximum of two trees per property.
* The 50-50 Sidewalk Repair Program provides financial assistance for sidewalk, curb, or gutter repairs. Property owners can be reimbursed up to $7,500 per property. This program helps improve safety for pedestrians.

Although property owners are responsible for the care of street trees and the repair of nearby sidewalks, these programs offer financial assistance to help reduce costs. By taking part in these programs, you’ll be limiting your liability, investing in your property, and making your neighborhood safer and more livable. Assistance is available but limited while funds last. Together, we can create greener streets and safer sidewalks for everyone.
