Weekly garbage pickup is limited to the contents of your bin, with the lid closed. If you have extra items that won’t fit, you can schedule a special pickup in advance for a fee by calling. You may also take the excess waste directly to the landfill for a fee. View current rates by visiting Rates for Solid Waste and Recycling Services.

New Weekly Collection Schedule – Effective October 6, 2025

Starting October 6, 2025, garbage, yard waste, and recycling will all be collected once per week on the same day.

Each material type will be picked up separately, but all collections will occur on your designated collection day.

What to Expect:

• One collection day per week

• Three separate pickups: one each for garbage, recycling, and yard waste

• Place all items curbside by 6:00 a.m. on your collection day, following the separation guidelines. 

The new collection schedule begins on October 6, 2025.

Yes, your collection day may change. Please check the Resident Information Tool for updated details.

Please do not lean garbage bags or any other items against or place them on top of the bin. All waste must be inside the bin with the lid fully closed.

Bins that are overfilled or obstructed will not be collected.

Place carts 3 feet from the curb and keep them at least 3 feet from cars, mailboxes, meters/backflow assemblies, yard waste, and any other obstruction.

They are 25 x 34 x 46

The big bins are 4 inches taller and 1 inch wider than our current bins and weigh 33 pounds.

Start using your new garbage bin immediately upon receiving it.

No. Starting October 6, 2025, plastic bags will no longer be accepted. Yard waste must be in bins, tied bundles of 4 feet or less in length, or compostable paper lawn and leaf bags. The weight limit is 40 lbs. Yard waste cannot be collected if it is not properly disposed of. Do not place yard waste in garbage or recycling bins. You may repurpose your old garbage can for your yard waste. 

These are considered bulk items and are collected by request. To schedule a pickup, call 941-792-8811.

Bulk items are collected per item or cubic yard for an additional fee. Call 941-792-8811 to schedule a pickup in advance for a fee. This takes effect on October 6, 2025.

After January 1, 2026, you can request an additional garbage bin for a monthly service fee. 

You may keep your old bin for yard waste or other uses. If you’d prefer it be taken away, simply place a note on it that says “Please remove” within the first 30 days of receiving your new bin, and it will be collected for you.

The old garbage container will no longer be in use starting October 6, 2025.
