Safety Harbor requires garbage to be placed in city-issued 90-gallon containers, set out no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before collection and removed from the curb by midnight on collection day.
The City of Safety Harbor Sanitation Division provides once-weekly residential collection. Each household receives a city-issued 90-gallon green container, and all garbage must be inside. Containers should be at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on collection day, placed within 2 feet of the curb with the handle facing the home and at least 3 feet from any obstruction. Containers must be removed from the right-of-way no later than midnight the day of collection. Commercial dumpsters visible from the right-of-way must be concealed in a gated enclosure with a reinforced concrete pad meeting city specifications.
Leaving containers at the curb beyond midnight or before 5 p.m. the prior day is a code violation enforceable by Code Compliance with notices and escalating fines.
