Largo actively promotes residential composting through a free Community Composting Bin Program available to city residents, while Chapter 20 of the Code of Ordinances regulates curbside yard waste and prohibits composting that creates pest or odor nuisances.
The City of Largo's Public Works Department operates a Community Composting Bin Program that distributes free compost bins to City of Largo residents to support waste reduction and sustainability goals. Residents can request bins or report damaged units by contacting Largo Public Works at 727-586-7418. Backyard composting is permitted on residential lots provided it does not create odors, attract vermin, or violate the property maintenance standards enforced by the Community Standards Division. Curbside yard waste collection is provided weekly and is regulated under Chapter 20 of the Code of Ordinances. Composting that produces nuisance conditions, however, can be cited like any other property maintenance violation.
Nuisance composting that attracts pests or creates odors can trigger property maintenance violations under Chapter 11 with notices, fines, and Code Enforcement Board hearings.
