Our 'hood is IN Sumter County-Villages....

>>>..... garbage/trash pickup is on Monday and Thursday.

>>>......Recycle is also on Monday and Thursday.



>>>.....Plantings and yard waste.....
.............such as tree and shrub trimmings are picked up on Wednesday.

.............."small" trimming pieces and leaves must be bagged in those
big ole' brown paper yard waste bags available at Ace or Home Depot or Lowes.

..............you DO NOT have to bag larger pieces such as branches from trees and shrubs...BUT...they must be UNDER 4 feet long..... and......... .............must not weigh over 30 pound PER piece.
Only request is that cut piece should have leafy portion toward your house
and the stem where it was cut should be facing the road.

There is NO limit to number of bags and branches...
..........................as long as they came from your yard.

You could even put old furniture out for pick-up.....however....
you MUST call to inform they so they can schedule TWO workers
ON the truck....in addition to the Driver.
The Driver is NOT to get out to assist with loading.....their job is to
watch for people and traffic and safely pilot the truck.
