Have a GARBAGE question (I mean a question ABOUT garbage!) :)

[EdFNJ]

We'll be moving down next month (don't know where yet :D ) and wondering how the garbage pickup situation is in TV. Do they take "ANYTHING" on "garbage day?"

Is there a separate day for trash pickup like old appliances, tons of cardboard from unpacking, old furniture etc etc or do you have to hire your own private WM person?

Basically what do you do when you move in (or out for that matter)?

This site will answer all your garbage questions.

Three garbage pickups per week. Either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday (depending on where you live) for regular trash. Recycling is once a week on a regular pick up day. Wednesday is for lawn and tree stuff throughout TV. Call Friday mornings to schedule pick up of items over 50 pounds or 5 feet in length. Moving boxes are picked up with recycling. Just break them down and leave at end of driveway.

NO GARBAGE CANS in Sumter or Marion Counties. They'll take the can as trash as easily as other items.

Welcome home.

So basically they take anything IF YOU CALL.

Thank you.

Old appliances, furniture, anything with the slightest value, stick it out anytime. It will go!

[TheDude]

I was told if it is too large, call. There will be a number in your resident handbook. You have to get it to the curb though as they will not (as I am told) go into your garage or house to get it.

Is "anytime" permitted? I would think that kind of stuff would be "limited" to when it gets put at the curb.

Yea, I wouldn't expect them to come and get it. Once I am a resident I will definitely have to check that out.

352-748-0109 is the number

They pick up trash twice a week based on where you live. Wednesdays they do yard waste.

Ed, they are easy going with the garbage down here. Just make sure you do your best with recycling but they don't have forensic garbage engineer's like the specific NJ town where you come from, they are ball busters unless you pay them or are related to them. Imagine $9000 a year in NJ tax's and they check your garbage. These guys in Florida take care of you and then then you do the rite thing. Good people. It's a whole different world. Come on already. Get the $$$$$$. Get down here while its freezing...Ha 60 degrees. :cold:

Well, everything up here is 99% done (buyer's inspection, C of O, buyer's appraisal, buyer's mortgage approved) last hurdle is fire inspection on Wednesday. Closing is Jan 6 so we should be down by the 9th or 10th. :pray: :pray:

edit: 28 degrees here and can't wait to gtfoh.

I am not sure that anybody exactly answered your question. Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday are the scheduled trash days here. You can call first thing in the morning after you put out a very large item out at the curb and they will come pick it up. Yes they will take almost everything including TV's except refrigerators and freezers unless they have been certified the Freon has been removed. It is easier to let the business take the old appliances then to get it certified the Freon is removed. They will not take any kind of tires or car batteries. These items can be gotten rid of during the twice a year recycle days. You use black or white trash bags for regular trash. Clear bags for recycled trash. And paper lawn bags for any type of yard waste like grass our tree clippings for Weds pickup in addition to the other two days.. Cardboard boxes need to be broken down and they should be put out on your recycle day so they do not end up in the dump instead of the recycle center. Hopefully that helps! Are you looking for a new home or a preowned here?

[EdFNJ]

Thanks! That covers it all. :)

Looking for pre-owned - fast close - cash deal - furnished or turnkey under $170K (how far under depends on how it is "equipped"/how little we need to add to or do to it). :)

We're not taking any furniture with us. We've sold most off as of now.

And the best feeling is scraping the NJ inspection & registration sticker from your windshields--welcome to freedom and especially tax freedom, and 2nd amendment freedom

I've left my expired NY inspection and registration stickers right where they were, as a daily reminder that I am NOT there. Another 2 feet of snow today scheduled to fall, after 32 inches just before Thanksgiving. I'll be on the golf course instead of shoveling.

Did not know they take tires and batteries on twice yearly recycle days. When and where are the twice yearly recycle days held?:wave:

Ed, registration on the car was under $200 for the first year with personalized plates and we were out of the Tax Collector's Office in 15 minutes and there was no prison next door and you don't even risk your life going there and nobody growled at us inside, the nice lady called me sir. Driver's license is for 8 years not 3 or 4. No stopping in Atlantic City once you get the proceeds. Plenty of nice furniture stores here new or used. Hang in there good things are coming your way.

I'm looking forward to everything other than the last part. I plan on flipping Gov Christie the bird on the way down the turnpike! :D

I love your messages! They always make me smile! We just sold my wife's car (that will finance most of my golf cart) and the folks who bought it spent over 2hrs waiting to get it registered. I'll miss Rahway DMV, I mean MVC.

Do we need to take the drivers test to get FL license?

Nope no driver's test but be prepared when you get here to encounter many places like the Bayway Circle. The only difference is many don't get the hang of negotiating them in TV and you have to be on high alert when driving here. :pray: Turn in your EZ-Pass, I forgot.

[Chatbrat]

You & your wife are going to need birth certificates, marriage certificate, proof of Fl residence- in order to get your Fl license, proof of insurance & title in order to register vehicle-there is a one time impact charge/per car--it is transferable to any new acquisitions

Yea, don't forget we spent a month down there and probably found every circle, I mean ROTARY in the 50 sq miles. My wife is from Bahston where they invented the "rotary."

Hi probably best to check with the Village Offices because it will vary on different areas and different days. Get it direct from them, the do a good job on Questions etc.

You have to watch the newspaper so the next one will be during the snowbird season. There are no set dates that they do it. You may also be able to call waste management and ask them when the next one will be because they may know.
