The City of Sanford's Waste Services unit seeks to keep the City of Sanford healthy, safe, and attractive by providing prompt, efficient, and reliable garbage and recycling pickup as well as by collecting household debris.
Sanitation services are contracted to Waste Industries for one pickup weekly of garbage (brown cart) and every other week pickup of recyclables (blue cart).
The goal of the City's Solid Waste program is to provide residents with cost-effective debris collection consisting of yard waste and bulk trash pick-up to ensure everyone's health and safety while maintaining a pleasing appearance.
