Unwanted Garbage Cans To Be Collected Curbside Week Of Sept. 23

Hillsborough County’s new garbage and recycling carts are ready to roll when automated collection starts the week of Sept. 30. But what do customers do with their old trash cans once the new kids take over the block?

If customers simply can’t find a use for their trash cans – either by using them for yard waste, or repurposing them as storage containers or for other uses – or if the cans have just lived past their useful life, here are some options:

• Curbside collection the week of Sept. 23:
Place unwanted garbage cans curbside, with a note directing your service provider to take them.

• Place them inside the GRAY garbage cart:
After automated collection starts the week of Sept. 30, customers can dispose of old garbage cans by putting them INSIDE the GRAY roll cart for pickup. Remember, all items must be inside the gray roll cart in order to be collected.

• Take to a Community Collection Center:
Dispose of old garbage cans at any of the County’s four Community Collection Centers.
