Special Collection (Tires, White Goods & Annual Bulk)

• Tires, appliances (white goods), and the one annual 10-cubic-yard collection all need to be scheduled in advance. You can do this by visiting your Customer Self-Service Portal at mymanatee.org/css. 
• Scheduling these items does not change your assigned zoned bulk collection day, but helps ensure proper collection.
