Pasco County Utilities provides mandatory weekly curbside trash and recycling collection in the unincorporated service area. Residents are assigned specific pickup days with bins out by 6 AM. Dade City, Zephyrhills, New Port Richey, and Port Richey operate city-level programs.
Pasco County Utilities Solid Waste Division operates the county's mandatory residential collection program (Pasco Code Chapter 110) in unincorporated areas, contracting with haulers such as Waste Connections and Republic Services. Most residents receive once-a-week trash and once-a-week recycling on the same day. Bins must be at the curb by 6 AM with lids fully closed and handles facing the house. The Resource Recovery Facility (waste-to-energy plant) in Spring Hill Coast area processes much of the county's garbage. Cities inside Pasco (Dade City, Zephyrhills, New Port Richey, Port Richey, San Antonio, St. Leo) operate independent collection programs with their own schedules. Holiday weeks shift pickups one day. Missed pickups can be reported online via the Pasco County Utilities portal or to the assigned hauler.
Missed setout: skipped pickup. Repeated bin-placement or contamination violations: $25 to $200 code compliance fines. Non-payment of mandatory collection fee results in lien.
