transported by the resident, can be accepted at the Convenience Centers.
The amount of waste that can be
disposed of without an additional charge is limited. The Solid
Waste assessment is only designed to pay for typical, daily
household garbage. Re-roofing, remodeling or tearing down a
house is not covered by the assessment. Tree, bush and grass
clippings are included but, land clearing is not. The disposal
of boats, jet skis or any other vehicle is subject to a disposal
fee.
How to Obtain an ID Tag
Decals are obtained from Facility Attendant at any Solid & Waste
& Recycling location when you present your drivers license as
proof of residency or tax bill as proof of solid waste
assessment.
Note: All vehicles are subject to
load inspections.
- Rental residents may obtain
an ID tag by providing identification and the property
owner's name or address.
- Household Hazardous waste is
accepted from residents of Hernando County only. Residents
of Citrus or Pasco Counties should call their respective
