Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL
The Question:
What are the rules for yard waste collection?
 
The Answer:
For those customers with yard waste collection, the following rules apply:

A total of Ten (10) tied bundles, 40-gallon containers or bags may be placed out for collection each week. (Example: 5 tied bundles+2 cans+3 bags = 10 total - That?s it!)

Bundles can be no longer than four (4) feet or contain branches larger than four (4) inches in diameter. Each bundle can weigh no more than 50 pounds. Bundles MUST be tied with string or twine.

Containers and bags can not exceed 40 gallons and can weigh no more than 50 pounds each.

Yard Waste will NOT be picked up if:

  • Containers or bags exceed the 40 gallon or 50 pound limit.
  • Bundles exceed the 50 pound or 4 foot/4 inch limit.
  • Bundles are not tied.
  • Special wastes or Household garbage is mixed.

There are any more than 10 items out for collection.

Bulk yard waste collection is not part of the Mandatory Solid Waste Program. Bulk yard waste are items that do not meet the requirements listed above. Tree stumps are an example of bulk yard waste. The Hauler may be willing to collect them for a fee. Otherwise, they may be taken to the Seminole County Landfill in Geneva. The property owners of property that has been assessed for the garbage service with the property taxes may use the Landfill at no cost to them provided they bring the material themselves and have proof of residency. Any one else that brings the material would be charged for disposal. Please call the Solid Waste Helpline at (407) 665-2260 for more information or any other questions you may have.
