No Solid Waste Collection on Thanksgiving

Residents should plan ahead for an interruption in service for Solid Waste collection on Thanksgiving Day.  There will be no residential garbage or yard waste collection service on Thursday, November 28.  Regular service will resume on our next scheduled collection day.

  • Garbage Pick up: Monday & Thursday
  • Recycling Pick up: Monday
  • Yard Waste Pick up: Thursday

Other Important Reminders:

  • Three-Foot Rule – At the curb, place the carts at least 3 feet away from other carts, mailboxes, cars, trees, shrubs, fire hydrants and utility poles.
  • Everything Must Fit Inside The Carts – Items left outside the carts cannot be picked up by the mechanical arm on a collection vehicle and will not be picked up.
  • Garbage, recyclables, and yard waste should be placed out no later than 6:00 AM on  collection days.  Containers are required to be kept out of sight on non-collection days.

For additional information please visit our Garbage & Recycling page.

Solid Waste Trucks to be on Streets Longer

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.
