highlands county FAQs
What is considered bulk waste?
What is considered yard waste?
Yard waste means decomposable waste materials generated by yard and lawn care and includes leaves, grass trimmings, brush, wood chips, and shrub and tree trimmings. Yard waste shall not include roots or stumps that exceed six inches in diameter or 6’ in length. There is a 1 cubic yard maximum.
Can I throw garbage directly into the garbage cart or does it need to be in a bag?
All household garbage must be placed in a secured bag to reduce litter and odors. Broken glass, ceramics, or other sharp objects must be securely wrapped and contained in thick wrapping materials such as bubble wrap or cardboard.
Can I put anything outside of my cart?
No, all trash must be placed inside the cart. Your bulk waste and yard waste may still be placed directly at the curb for collections.
Do I need to bundle my yard waste?
Yard waste needs to be placed in a separate container or tied in bundles that are less than six (6) feet in length and less than 50 lbs per container or bundle. Only 2 cubic yards per resident will be picked up on a scheduled day. Do not put any yard or bulk waste in your blue or green carts.
