Curbside residential collection is mandatory in unincorporated Sarasota County's Solid Waste Service District (Sec. 106-41). Class I curbside customers get once-per-week collection of properly prepared residential waste through the county's franchised hauler.
Under Sec. 106-41, all property in the Solid Waste Service District is subject to mandatory residential waste collection, and owners must use the county Franchisee. Class I (curbside) service consists of once-per-week collection of properly prepared residential waste; Class II (dumpster) service is at least once per week. Only correctly prepared waste is collected — mixing solid waste with yard trash gets the load tagged and rejected. Yard trash in curbside containers must not exceed four feet in length or 12 inches above the container top. The North and South service areas are served by different franchised haulers.
Improperly prepared waste is tagged and left uncollected; violations of the mandatory-service and preparation rules are enforced by Code Enforcement citation.
