Attention residents living in the unincorporated area of Manatee County:
Manatee County Utilities has not changed its collection schedule. Residential garbage, yard waste and recycling collections are running behind due to unexpected hauler employee illnesses and staffing shortages. All garbage, yard waste and recycling services are being collected according to the normal schedules. Please leave your items out until 7pm on the normal collection day, if not collected by then, bring it in and put it back out before 6am the next morning. If your scheduled pick up is missed, every attempt will be made by the haulers to collect it the following day. All collections will be completed by Saturday evening each week.
If you do not live within the unincorporated portion of Manatee County (you do not pay Manatee County Utilities Department for these services), please contact your local garbage provider.
