Is the domestic garbage fee included in the property fee?

Whether the domestic garbage disposal fee is included in the property fee depends on whether there is an agreement in the property contract. If there is no agreement, the property management fee generally does not include the domestic garbage fee. A property service contract is a contract in which the property service provider provides the owner with property services such as the maintenance of the building and its ancillary facilities, the management and maintenance of environmental sanitation and related order, and the owner pays the property fee.
