Full Breakdown

New Port Richey requires its solid waste collection franchisee to run recycling collection service not less than once a week for residential, commercial, and industrial customers, per City Code § 10-42(3). Recyclables are collected curbside along with trash: the definition of residential curbside collection folds recyclable materials into the same edge-of-right-of-way pickup as household garbage. This applies citywide inside New Port Richey, Pasco County, Florida, and is enforced through the city's exclusive franchise agreement with its contracted hauler, not by county or state recycling law.

Violations & Fines

Recycling isn't optional add-on service: it's built into the franchise contract; a hauler that skips weekly recycling collection risks franchise suspension or revocation under § 10-47.
