North Port residential trash pickup is once-weekly on a route schedule. Totes must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on collection day, arrows facing the street, 5 ft from objects. Recycling is collected separately, and yard waste in the green-lid tote.
Solid Waste operations are governed by Code Ch. 62, with Ord. 132-19 / Sec. 62-63 requiring source separation of recyclables and yard waste. Holiday delays shift pickup by one day. Bulk pickup is separately scheduled and limited to items that don't fit in the tote, are under 200 lbs, and don't qualify as yard waste. Commercial customers have separate Solid Waste contracts.
Failure to follow set-out, placement, or separation rules can result in non-collection and Code Enforcement citations up to $250-$500 per offense.
