WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRASH AND GARBAGE?
Trash items are
defined as all types of bulky rubbish, including yard and garden wastes.
Regular trash collection service is provided on a five day continuous collection
basis. All waste products shall be disposed of on the property of the generator.
Deposits in excess of four cubic yards (3' x 3' x 12') will be charged according
to the size of the deposit. Loose disposal of yard waste items is restricted
to large items. All items easily containerized are to be bagged so as not
to wash down the storm drains, and separated from household garbage items.
The separation of yard waste from garbage waste is a State of Florida mandate
and will require us to collect in a manner to guarantee maximum separation.
Large furniture items and appliances may require a $5.00 special collection
sticker available at the City Hall Cashier's Office. (586-1655)
Garbage
items are generally described as household
kitchen waste.
Garbage is collected on a twice weekly basis, Monday through Saturday and
shall be placed in thirty two (32) gallon aluminum, galvanized metal or plastic
containers with tight fitting lids. They may be placed curbside for collection
after 6:00 p.m. the day preceding regular collection day. Loading of containers
is not to exceed fifty (50) pounds. Any and all garbage cans are to be maintained
in a safe, clean condition. Cans with jagged edges or holes will not be serviced.

Items are to be placed in the properly
colored container as follows:
Yellow Bins:
Brown paper grocery bags
Corrugated cardboard boxes
Magazines, catalogs & phonebooks.
Blue Bins:

Foil & pie plates
