Excess Trash - Prepayment Options: If you have larger quantities of trash, yard waste, or bulk items, or would like to request a second cart, please call Coastal at (352) 741-5494 for pricing and prepayment options before placing the items at the curb for collection.

Bag Your Garbage: All trash should be bagged prior to being placed in the cart as loose trash may get blown by the wind when the cart is picked up.

Put a Lid on It: Cart lids must be closed to prevent scavenging of animals and to prevent rainwater from collecting in the container while awaiting collection. This also prevents garbage from becoming spilled during the collection process.

Placement: The automated arm used to collect the carts requires clearance for your cart to be picked up. Carts should be placed at least three feet from the curb with the arrows facing the street and the handle facing away from the street. Do not place cart in the street. The lid must be closed. Carts should be placed at least three feet away from other obstacles, such as mailboxes, cars, and other carts, and should not have any overhead obstructions, such as powerlines or tree limbs. Carts that are not properly placed may not be serviced.
