Please be aware that Hillsborough County Solid Waste customers can expect to see garbage trucks and recycling trucks on neighborhood streets as late as 8 p.m. on collection days as drivers get accustomed to changes in routes and service.

Residents can help drivers stay on schedule by using their County-provided roll carts correctly. At the curb, place the carts at least 3 feet away from other carts, yard waste piles, mailboxes, cars, trees, shrubs, fire hydrants and utility poles. Don’t block the carts with vehicles parked along the street or in the driveway. Place all items to be collected in the carts.

Beginning the week of September 30th, Hillsborough County will start automated residential garbage and recycling collection.  Automated collection is where garbage and recycling containers are emptied using a mechanical arm on the collection vehicle instead of workers lifting containers by hand.  Beginning August 1st, a grey 95-gallon wheeled can for garbage and a blue 65-gallon blue wheeled can for recyclables – will be delivered to homes.  For more information, visit http://www.HillsboroughCounty.org/TalkTrash.
