Florida Trash Schedules

Solid waste and recycling in Florida are managed locally by county and municipal public works departments in collaboration with private haulers like Waste Pro, Waste Management, and Republic Services. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) oversees the state's broader environmental goals, driving continuous efforts to maximize statewide recycling rates through waste diversion and local municipal grants.

Due to Florida's unique climate and geography, local waste rules heavily emphasize severe weather preparedness and the proper disposal of household hazardous waste (HHW) to protect the state's fragile aquifer system. Local programs provide specialized drop-offs for pool chemicals, marine batteries, and electronics, while enforcing strict, unified curbside regulations during the Atlantic hurricane season.
