HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Homeowners living in Hillsborough County can have a direct impact on the types of trash collection services they will receive in the future.
County leaders want to know how residential solid waste customers use their garbage, recycling, and yard waste services.
Currently, the county contracts with three private companies to collect garbage from 290,000 households in unincorporated Hillsborough and New Tampa. Those contract will expire next year.
Hillsborough County Solid Waste Management is seeking feedback from customers to help shape how services may be offered in the future.
Potential service changes being evaluated include reducing garbage collection frequency to once per week, curbside bulk pickup and adding recycling services.
