Temple Terrace Sanitation provides twice-weekly residential garbage pickup, weekly recycling, and weekly yard waste collection. Containers must be at curb by 6 AM on pickup day.
The city operates its own sanitation department under Temple Terrace Code Chapter 62. Garbage is collected twice weekly on scheduled days that vary by neighborhood. Single-stream recycling is collected once weekly in the blue 95-gallon cart. Yard waste is collected weekly and must be bundled (under 4 feet, under 50 pounds) or placed in reusable containers. Containers must be placed curbside no earlier than 6 PM the evening before and removed by the end of pickup day. Holiday schedules shift pickup forward by one day.
Late placement or failure to remove bins promptly: warning first, then $50 citation. Contaminated recycling carts may be tagged and refused.
