Holiday Schedule
General Rule
The Pasco County Solid Waste processing facilities are closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Consequently, all licensed haulers suspend collection on these days, pushing service back by one day for the remainder of the week.
Yard Waste Exception
Private haulers manage their own yard waste routing. While the three major holidays impact all haulers, minor holidays (like Memorial Day or Labor Day) may only affect specific companies. Always verify with your specific provider.
Because you contract directly with a private hauler, you must check their specific company website (e.g., Waste Connections, WM) for exact holiday schedules beyond the county-mandated closures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up garbage collection service in Jasmine Estates?
Jasmine Estates is in unincorporated Pasco County, which operates an open-market system. The county does not provide trash service directly. You must contact one of the county's licensed private haulers (such as Waste Connections, Waste Management, or J.D. Parker & Sons) to set up and pay for a subscription service.
Why did my hauler refuse to empty my recycling bin?
Your recycling may have been rejected if it contained unacceptable items like glass, plastic bags, or styrofoam. Additionally, Pasco County mandates that all recycling bins must have a secure lid. If you placed recyclables in an open cardboard box or a laundry basket, the hauler is instructed not to collect it.
Where can I get a recycling sticker for my personal bin?
If you choose to use your own garbage can for recycling rather than renting one from your hauler, you must mark it with an official Pasco County recycling sticker. You can request a free sticker by calling the Pasco County Solid Waste Department at 727-857-2780.
What should I do with old glass bottles since they aren't recyclable here?
Because the Pasco County sorting facility cannot process glass, all glass bottles, jars, and containers must be thrown away in your regular household garbage bin. Do not drop them off at county recycling centers, as they are not accepted there either.
