Long Beach utility bills start with the city portal
Long Beach utility customers can use the MyUtility Portal for bills, quick pay, start-stop-transfer service, payment plans, and account help; trash and recycling details sit with city environmental services.
Long Beach utility questions often start with the city. That is true when the issue is the bill, the account, or moving service in or out.
The MyUtility Portal is the main first stop. Use it to pay a bill, use quick pay, start service, stop service, transfer service, or ask about a payment plan. Have the service address and account details nearby if you have them.
Trash, recycling, and organics are close to this same city layer. The details sit with Energy and Environmental Services. Start there for collection days, recycling, organics, and trash service questions.
The useful split is simple. If the question is about a city utility bill or account, start with MyUtility. If the question is about trash and recycling service details, start with the environmental services pages.
For a move, make a short list first. Write down the old address, new address, move date, and account number if you have it. Then name the issue: billing, water, gas, sewer, refuse, or collection service.
