Manatee County’s Medical Rear Door Assistance Program offers curbside garbage bin collection and return for residents with mobility-limiting conditions. Eligibility requires physician certification and application through the Solid Waste Division. Once approved, sanitation workers manage bin placement and retrieval on collection days. The service supports independence and is provided at no additional cost beyond the standard monthly rate.

Manatee County uses single-stream recycling, allowing all clean recyclable paper, cardboard, cans, glass, and plastics to be placed together in one cart for easy curbside collection.
