Due to the increased volume of trash and recycling following a holiday, Republic will be working extra hard to ensure that all customers are picked up. Please follow the guidelines below and expect the following conditions to occur:
rep
• Trash pickup is still limited to ONLY blue cart contents with lid closed and properly placed with no obstructions. Trash placed outside the blue cart and overfull carts will not be collected. See drop off options below for excess trash disposal or sign up for curbside recycling to divert recycling material away from your trash container.
• Your trash or recycling may be picked up earlier or later than usual (Please set at the curb before 6am). Trucks may run late into the evening beyond normal work hours.
• Extra trucks may be working and may be of a different type than usual. Please make sure cart is placed with arrows facing street, five feet from objects, with no overhead obstructions so any type of truck can collect your material
• Holiday trash and recycling pickup may be delayed; in this event, this will also delay normal trash and recycling pickups for the remainder of the week. Any missed pickups will be completed the next business day. Please wait to report a missed pickup until 10am the next morning.
Drop Off Available: All Hernando County Solid Waste facilities will be closed on the holidays; however, they will be open during normal business hours the remainder of the week for residents to dispose of excess trash, recycling or yard waste.
Holiday Schedule (No Service and Landfill is closed): Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Independence Day
