Hillsborough County Invites Residents To Talk Trash

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — Hillsborough County wants to know how residential solid waste customers use their garbage, recycling and yard waste services.

The County contracts with three private companies to provide collection services to approximately 290,000 households in unincorporated Hillsborough and New Tampa. With the contracts expiring next year, Hillsborough County Solid Waste Management is seeking feedback from customers to help shape how services may be offered in the future.
