Osceola County provides weekly curbside recycling. If you have a county recycling cart, program recyclables must go only in that cart—not the trash cart—and only the materials the county designates as program recyclables. Non-conforming items may cause the load to be left.
Chapter 19 collects program recyclables—the recyclable materials the county designates from time to time—once a week alongside household waste. Section 19-4(e) requires that where a customer has a recycling cart, recyclables be placed only in the recycling cart and household waste only in the waste cart. Setting out material that is not a program recyclable in the recycling cart is 'non-conforming material,' and the contractor may leave it and tag it with a non-collection notice. Commercial properties must contract with a franchised hauler for recyclable-material removal. County programs align with Florida's statewide recycling framework (FS Ch. 403). Check the county's Waste & Recycling page for the current accepted-materials list.
Failure to follow curbside recycling requirements is a $25 administrative fine per occurrence under Section 19-9(f); non-conforming loads may simply be left uncollected.
