Hillsborough County provides curbside solid waste collection (garbage, recyclables and yard waste) for single-family homes located in the unincorporated area and including the Tampa Palms and Hunters Green areas. Temple Terrace and Plant City have their own collection services.

Customers receive two garbage pickups, one collection of recyclables and one collection of yard waste per week. Additional materials, including magazines, junk mail, plastic bottles, office paper and telephone books, can be recycled. Collection hours are from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Curbside service is provided on either Mondays / Thursdays or Wednesdays / Saturdays, depending on the collection route. There is no collection service on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or Labor Day. A service charge for collection is regulated by County Commissioners and is paid yearly through your property tax bill. Call 272-5680 for information.
