SOLID WASTE LANDING PAGE
Overview
Sarasota County collects, processes and disposes of different types of
waste with a focus on recycling and sustainability. Our long-range goal is to
reduce the amount and toxicity of waste going into the landfill. Waste
education is emphasized through citizen involvement and focus on
increasing customer satisfaction. Stewardship of resources and controlling
operating costs are key priorities.
Services Provided
Residential & Commercial Solid Waste:
Garbage is collected from more than 146,000 residential units and from
6,496 commercial customers through a franchise agreement with Waste
Management. This contract includes the curbside collection of residential
garbage, recyclable materials and yard waste. In addition, tires, motor oil
and filters, bulk items, white goods and old electronics are collected
curbside.
Recycling:
Curbside recycling processing in Sarasota County is managed under a
contract with ReCommunity. Mandatory recycling in Sarasota County was
initially driven by a citizen’s charter referendum which became a County
ordinance in 1993. Sarasota County’s recycling program has historically
been amongst the leading programs in Florida. The rate of recycling has
steadily increased from 32% in 2005 to our current 2013 rate of 46%
(340,000 tons recycled of the 739,000 tons of waste generated). The 46%
rate places Sarasota County third in “traditional recycling” (i.e. excluding
waste-to-energy contributions) in Florida. Recycling is environmentally
sound, and in recent years, has generated more than $1 million in revenue
annually for the County.
The residential collection program in the unincorporated county is
supported by non ad-valorem assessments on all real properties while
businesses pay for service directly to the franchise hauler depending on
level of service needed.
Hazardous Waste:
While certain Florida Statutes and Operating Permits mandate the
collection of certain waste streams, the ultimate purpose of the household
hazardous waste programs are to provide a safe solution for household
hazardous waste disposal; to protect our neighborhoods and environment
from illicit discharges; to protect the landfill from chemical disposals; and
to extend the life of the landfill by diverting materials from landfill
disposal. These programs have diverted over 2.4 million pounds of
material from landfill disposal and serviced over 24,000 customers through
three permanent collection facilities, special event collections, and
curbside collection programs since YEAR.

Landfill:
The Central County Solid Waste Disposal Complex (CCSWDC) is centrally
located within Sarasota County in Nokomis and accepts residential,
municipal and commercial garbage from the unincorporated areas of
Sarasota, and from the three municipalities (City of North Port, City of
Sarasota and City of Venice). The CCSWDC includes a County-staffed
scalehouse, a Citizens Convenience Center, a Construction and Demolition
Debris recycling facility, a yard waste processing area, and other landfill
operations support facilities. Landfill operations are supported by tipping
fees for each load of materials entering the facility.
Keep Sarasota County Beautiful:
Keep Sarasota County Beautiful (KSCB) was established in 1987 as an
affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, a national non-profit organization
dedicated to the eradication of litter. Sarasota County’s program has an
impressive volunteer participation rate, with more than 3,000 volunteers
typically taking part in the Great American Cleanup and the International
Coastal Cleanup. For each event, volunteers dedicate a few hours of their
time to help keep our parks and coastal waters litter free.
KSCB also manages the Adoption Program for roads, ponds and spots.
Adoption partners agree to clean their adopted area a minimum of four
times per year. The program continues to improve the community through
socially responsible efforts geared at protecting the unique natural
resources of Sarasota County.
Green Business Partnership:
The Green Business Partnership (GBP) is open to all businesses in Sarasota
County, regardless of type or size. Certified Green Business Partners make
an extra effort to operate in an environmentally responsible manner by
implementing verified core and elective GBP program standards in waste,
energy and water reduction measures, while increasing recycling and
conservation practices.

collection, and should be curbside by 6 a.m. on your collection day.
Yard waste should be placed separately from garbage and recyclables at
the curb for collection. It should be bundled into groups and secured with
string. Each bundle should not exceed 40 pounds or four feet in length.
Household hazardous wastes should also be placed separately from the
garbage and recyclables. Please use clear bags as needed.
For more information on how to properly prepare both garbage and
recyclable items for curbside pickup, please view the How-To Guide.

COMMERCIAL SERVICES/COLLECTION & RECYCLING
Overview
All businesses in Sarasota County are required to use the county’s
franchised waste hauler, Waste Management, for garbage collection
services. The staff at Waste Management will be able to assist businesses
in determining the appropriate service levels for number of containers, size
of containers and pick-up frequency.
While garbage service is franchised, businesses may contract with the
recycling service provider of their choice. Sarasota County Ordinance 2006001 outlines the mandatory recycling requirements in unincorporated
portions of Sarasota County as well as the municipalities of Sarasota, North
Port, Longboat Key and Venice. By recycling and taking materials out of the
waste stream, businesses may be able to reduce the size of their garbage
container and/or the number of collection pick-ups.
Most businesses in Sarasota County are required to keep solid waste and
recycling containers in an enclosure. Sarasota County Ordinance 2003-092
requires all new commercial construction to have an enclosure for garbage
and recycling containers, unless there is a permanent storage area for the
containers inside a walled and roofed building. This ordinance applies to all
commercial buildings constructed after December 7, 1993 (the date the
original Ordinance 92-102 was adopted).
Florida businesses dealing with more than 600 tons of recovered materials
(paper, glass, plastic, metals/aluminum, textiles and/or non-tire rubber)
per year are required by law to apply for annual certification and to report
their recovered materials. The goal of this program is to record the
amount of Florida’s waste stream that is reused or recycled, and to
properly credit each county for its recycled materials.
Additional information about Commercial Collection and Recycling can be
found in the Commercial Solid Waste Guide.
Items Accepted
Additional Information
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection recognizes
businesses, institutions, schools, public organizations and citizens who
recycle over 40% of their waste. Additional details about the program may
be found on the FDEP website.
Sarasota County’s Project Green Sweep program offers qualified Sarasota
County businesses a responsible, cost effective method to properly dispose
of small quantities of hazardous and regulated wastes that are banned
from landfill disposal.

COMMERCIAL SERVICES/HAZARDOUS WASTE
Overview
In order to help protect the integrity of the environmental systems within
Sarasota County, it is vital that we prevent illicit discharges and improper
disposal of commercial hazardous wastes. If your company generates
waste as part of a manufacturing or industrial process, you might be
subject to hazardous waste regulations. “Hazardous waste” is a legal term
that describes certain toxic, ignitable, corrosive, or reactive wastes
generated in manufacturing, industrial or other processes.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers simple guides to
explain hazardous wastes and help you determine whether you generate
hazardous wastes and are subject to regulation. Your company is
responsible for making hazardous waste determinations correctly.
The Sarasota County Hazardous Waste Management Office works in
tandem with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection,
Hazardous Waste Regulation Section for inspections of commercial
enterprises within the county. The Project Green Sweep program offers a
responsible, cost effective method to properly dispose of small quantities
of hazardous and regulated wastes that are banned from landfill disposal
to qualified businesses in Sarasota County. For more information, please
view the Project Green Sweep links under the Documents section of this
page.

COMMERCIAL SERVICES/CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION
Overview
Recycling and reuse of materials have long been associated with wise
construction practices. Communities and experienced contractors are now
reaping the environmental and possible economic advantages of
Construction Waste Management practices that include the reuse and
recycling of Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris. Sarasota County
encourages the responsible separation and recycling of construction and
demolition debris to support the County’s sustainability goals and to help
save on costly disposal fees.
In August 2010, Sarasota County Solid Waste Program completed a 3-year
study of the construction and demolition industry. The purpose of the
project was to determine what barriers exist that inhibits the recycling of
C&D material and what can be done to overcome those barriers. The guide
for builders and contractors developed from the lessons learned during
this project is located under the documents section and is entitled
Contractors Guide to C&D Recycling.
It is important to know what is acceptable and not acceptable for
Construction and Demolition (C&D) recycling. It is also important to know
the definitions designated by the State to define certain materials and how
they are handled and in what type of facility they can be handled. For
example, did you know that garbage (food waste and wrappers, fast food
bags, beverage containers, etc.) cannot go into C&D debris containers
destined for either recycling or disposal?
