For Payments Made From Bank Accounts: Once logged in, you can initiate the online payment process by selecting a payment date. This is the date your payment process will begin. For your convenience, Recology will alert you to the next available day you may make a payment, "Same Day" payments can only be made before 1pm Eastern Time on business days. If you try to schedule a payment for "today" but it is after 1pm Eastern Time or on a non-business day, Recology will alert you to schedule your payment for the next available business day. E-BillPay will routinely credit your customer account on the business day following the payment date (see the chart below for a complete schedule). Your payment may be withdrawn from your bank account on or after your payment date. Please initiate payments to allow sufficient processing time before your payment due date. For Payments Made From Credit Cards: A credit card payment is a "real-time" transaction, meaning that the payment process will begin immediately after you enter your card number and click "submit." A credit card payment must be made on or before the due date shown on your bill. A credit card payment initiated before 8pm Eastern Time on a business day will be credited to your customer account on the following business day. A credit card payment made after 8pm Eastern Time or on a weekend or holiday will be credited to your customer account within two business days. Please initiate payments to allow sufficient processing time before your payment due date. Timing of Bank Account Payments:
