Coastal Waste collects unincorporated Hernando County garbage twice a week, with recycling and yard waste weekly. Spring Hill's mandatory assessment area and the rest of the unincorporated subscription service both use the county franchise hauler; Brooksville runs its own.
Hernando County's residential collection switched to Coastal Waste and Recycling on January 2, 2026, ending Republic Services' contract that had run since 2012. Every household in the county's blue-cart program gets garbage picked up twice a week, plus once-weekly recycling and yard waste and six bulk collections a year. Spring Hill sits in the universal (mandatory) area, billed by non-ad-valorem assessment on the property tax bill; the rest of unincorporated Hernando is subscription, billed quarterly by Coastal. Brooksville residents follow city collection, not the county's. Report a missed pickup to Coastal at (352) 540-6457.
Overfilled carts or waste outside the cart get skipped. Persistent set-out and trash problems fall to county code compliance, which issues notices and escalating fines for conditions left uncorrected.
