Like it or not, it is the fault of the developer because he is too cheap to mandate trash cans, and the residents who don't want them are equally at fault. Our landfills are overcome with plastic bags from 125,000+ residents who put out their trash twice a week. These bags will take hundreds of years to disintegrate. Do you have any idea of the disaster you have planned for future generations and your grandchildren???

The first thing you can do is stop putting garbage in the trash. Everyone has a garbage disposal. Use it! And yes -- you CAN put chicken bones down them. Garbage disposals need roughage to run properly. And if you're really concerned, yes -- get up early and put your trash out then. Otherwise, you can sleep all day and stay up all night and be on watch outside for the hungry critters and scare them away!

Guess whose fault this "problem" really is?????
Effective December 27, 2012 The North Sumter County Utility Dependent District (NSCUDD) became the provider of the solid waste sanitation services for the Marion and Sumter County portion of The Villages located in VCDD Nos. 1 thorough 10 when it purchased Sumter Sanitation. Sumter Sanitation also provides services to VCDD No. 11 in Lake County. The Sumter Sanitation services are contracted through CH2M HILL/Jacobs.

Sumter Sanitation was owned by the Developer and NSCUDD occasionally purchases the rights for sanitation services from the Developer. So, a public board with 7 elected members now directs the operation of solid waste sanitation services in these areas of the Villages. If you would like to suggest better ways for NSCUDD to operate, you are always welcome to attend one of our public board meetings. The next one will be held this coming Tuesday at 3PM in the SeaBreeze Rec center with the following agenda items found here -> NovusAGENDA

and yes -> Beginning October 1, 2020, all solid waste and yard waste in the Village Community Development Districts 1-11, located in Sumter County, Marion County and The Villages of Fruitland Park, will be collected and transported by Jacobs to the Covanta Lake II, Inc. Energy from Waste (EfW) facility in Okahumpka.
