White Waste Disposal

White goods are large appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, stoves and freezers. There is a minimal charge for curbside disposal per appliance or item. You may also elect to dispose of your item at the landfill for a fee.

Small appliances such as toasters, blenders, etc. may be placed in the regular garbage.

To schedule pick up of white goods, please call the Manatee County Customer Service Department at 941-792-8811, Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with the exception of holidays.

Construction Debris

Properly prepared* residential C & D may be placed at the curb for pick up by the waste hauler.

Residents may have a rolloff box delivered to the site. C & D is an open market, and any waste hauler may be used. Consult your local yellow pages.

Construction debris can be hauled to the Lena Road Landfill for a fee.

*Properly Prepared: Bags or 32 gallon cans less than 50 lbs., not protruding from the container, or tied and bundled, less than 4ft and under 50lbs.

Furniture

Furniture is categorized as "special items", and can be placed out with the regular garbage, free of charge for customers with Residential Curbside Pickup service. However, please do not exceed two items per collection day.

Televisions

Do NOT dispose of TVs in your trash. Prior arrangements must be made before placing a TV at the curb.

Disposal Options:

• Call 941-792-8811 and speak to a customer service representative for details to schedule a special pickup. You may use your one “free annual” option or pay a fee for this service.
• Deliver the TV to the Manatee County Landfill between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the 3rd Saturday of each month for proper disposal at no charge.
• If you are able to unload your TV without assistance from County personnel, you may bring it to the Lena Road Landfill Monday-Saturday 8:00am-5:00pm. Please stop and speak with scalehouse staff; there will be no charge for disposal.
• Check with your local thrift store to see if they are accepting donations of working TVs.

Household Waste

Residential household waste in unincorporated Manatee County is collected twice a week between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. by one of two waste haulers:
