Florida sets counties a 75% recycling goal, not a homeowner mandate, so no Hernando County resident is fined for skipping the bin. Coastal Waste collects recycling curbside weekly, with free drop-off at the Northwest Landfill.
Florida law gives counties a recycling goal, not residents a legal duty, so recycling in Hernando County is provided but not mandatory. Coastal Waste collects recycling once a week from the blue-cart program; the Northwest Landfill on Landfill Road in Brooksville also takes recycling and household hazardous waste free of charge. Keep plastic bags, film, hoses, hangers, food waste, and garbage out of the cart - they contaminate loads and send them to the landfill. Cardboard, paper, glass bottles, aluminum cans, and rigid plastics are the core accepted materials, placed loose rather than bagged.
Homeowners face no fine for not recycling. Contaminated carts get tagged and skipped rather than emptied, and chronic contamination can prompt the hauler to pull a household's recycling cart.
