Curbside pickup of bulk garbage is returning to Manatee County. The county renegotiated a one-year contract with its waste haulers, 91²Ö¿â Pro and 91²Ö¿â Management, to return a limited bulk collection service. Once a month, residents will be able to dispose of two bulk items, such as mattresses and carpets.
Residents will also be able to schedule one on-demand pickup per year at no additional cost. The on-demand pickup will be capped at 10 cubic yards of one type of waste, whether that be bagged household waste, old tires and appliances, construction debris or yard waste, but they cannot be combined.
The Bulk Collection Pilot Program will launch May 1 and end April 30, 2027. During that time, Manatee County will cover the additional negotiated cost of $2 a month per customer (96 cents for the fixed route monthly collection and $1.04 for the on-demand annual collection).
