The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Bradenton collects household waste with its own Solid Waste Division, and every home gets one green garbage cart and one blue yard waste cart. Garbage runs twice a week on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, and yard waste once a week, with the routine material going out in the blue cart or in paper bags or tied bundles. Large items take a request: bulk collections are scheduled with the division, and the published list names appliances, furniture including mattresses and sofas, electronics, up to four tires, and garden equipment emptied of fuel, at a flat rate per item added to the utility bill. Two things that are refused at the curb have their own routes: household hazardous waste and electronic scrap drop free at the Lena Road Landfill on the third Saturday of every month, and construction and demolition material has no city route at all.
Garbage is collected twice a week from the green cart and yard waste once a week from the blue cart, and everything has to be inside the right cart with the lid closed.
City cost & eligibility
The City bills solid waste through the residential utility account and does not publish the monthly rate on these pages, so confirm the current charge with the Solid Waste Division at 941-708-6340 rather than relying on an older figure.
When & how
Garbage runs twice weekly on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday depending on the address, and yard waste runs once weekly on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday depending on the address. Carts go to the curb no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Place the cart within two feet of the curb with the handle facing away, at least three feet from cars, mailboxes, meters and other obstructions, and do not lean bags or anything else against the bin, because items are collected only from inside the cart with the lid closed. Drain liquids and bag the debris, and wash the cart yourself as needed.

When & how
Call 941-708-6340 to schedule, and put the items at the curb no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day. The City asks for the call within 48 hours of the items going to the curb.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to the published bulk categories and keep propane tanks, hazardous materials and liquids out of it entirely. A garden machine goes out only after the fuel is emptied, tires are limited to four a household, and anything that is not a listed bulk item belongs on its own route.
Refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, freezers, washers and dryers are named in the bulk list and go out on a scheduled collection at the flat per item rate.
City cost & eligibility
$10 for the published flat rate per item for a bulk collection, added to the utility bill. City of Bradenton residential utility accounts scheduling the collection with the Solid Waste Division. A cooling appliance is accepted on the same terms as any other listed appliance, because the published refusal list names only propane tanks, hazardous materials and liquids.
When & how
Call 941-708-6340 and have the appliance at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure or remove the doors, and keep the appliance out of the green cart, where large items are not collected. A garden machine is the one piece of equipment with an extra rule, and it has to be emptied of fuel before it goes out.
Televisions, computers and stereo equipment are collected at the curb on a scheduled bulk pickup, or dropped free with electronic scrap at the Lena Road Landfill on the third Saturday of each month.
City cost & eligibility
Two routes carry the same devices on different terms. A curbside bulk collection is charged the published flat rate per item on the utility bill, while the Lena Road Landfill day is published as free of charge for Manatee County residents, so choose the route and confirm the curbside charge at 941-708-6340 when the pickup is scheduled.
When & how
Either call 941-708-6340 to add the devices to a bulk collection and put them at the curb by 6 a.m., or take them to the Lena Road Landfill at 3333 Lena Road on the third Saturday of the month between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the green cart, the blue yard waste cart and the recycling containers, all of which refuse them. Clear personal data from a computer or phone before it leaves the property, and keep batteries on the household hazardous waste route rather than in any cart.
Construction, remodeling and demolition material is refused in the garbage cart and no city collection route is published for it, so a project load needs a private arrangement.
City cost & eligibility
The City lists construction, remodeling and demolition debris among the materials not allowed in the garbage cart, along with concrete, dirt, sod, sand, plaster, carpet, tile, lumber, bricks and roofing material, and it publishes no city collection program or rate for that material, so confirm the route and the price with the Solid Waste Division at 941-708-6340 or with a private hauler before the load moves.
When & how
Arrange the container or the haul before the work starts, because nothing from a project goes out with the twice weekly garbage route or the weekly yard waste route.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the green cart, the blue cart and the recycling containers, all of which refuse it, and keep paint, solvents and treated material on the household hazardous waste route rather than in a debris pile.
Yard waste is collected once a week from the blue cart, or in paper bags or tied bundles, with a published per cubic yard rate for a load too large for the routine service.
City cost & eligibility
Routine yard material goes out with the weekly collection, and a load too large for that service is collected as a special collection at a published rate per cubic yard added to the service address. Confirm the current rate and whether the load qualifies as routine with the Solid Waste Division at 941-708-6340.
When & how
Yard waste runs once a week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday depending on the address, and everything goes to the curb no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day. A special collection for a large volume is booked on 941-708-6340.
Get it ready
Use the blue City cart whenever it fits. Extra material goes in paper yard waste bags or is neatly bundled and tied with rope or twine, each bundle or container must weigh under fifty pounds, and limbs and branches may not exceed three feet long or six inches in diameter. Plastic bags are refused, and yard waste mixed with garbage is refused too.
Carts go out by 6 a.m. and only the cart is collected
Garbage and yard waste both go to the curb no later than 6 a.m. on the collection day. The cart sits within two feet of the curb with the handle facing away and at least three feet from cars, mailboxes, meters and any other obstruction, and items are collected only from inside the cart with the lid closed, so nothing is leaned against the bin.
A bulk pickup is scheduled, and the pile is not left out without the call
Bulk items are collected by request at the published flat rate per item, added to the utility bill, with a separate published fee for each tire. Call 941-708-6340 and have the items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and make the call within 48 hours of the items going out, because the City warns that an unscheduled pile may draw an illegal dumping fee.
Hazardous waste and e-scrap go out on the third Saturday
Paint, chemicals, flammables, pool products, batteries and electronic scrap cannot go in any cart, and the hauler will not collect household hazardous waste. Manatee County residents can drop both household hazardous waste and electronic scrap at the Lena Road Landfill, 3333 Lena Road, on the third Saturday of every month from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., free of charge.

Free county drop-off for household hazardous waste and electronic scrap
Lena Road Landfill
3333 Lena Road, Bradenton, FL 34211
Household hazardous waste and electronic scrap from Manatee County residents, at no charge. The City describes household hazardous waste as products labelled flammable, toxic, corrosive or marked danger, warning or caution, which is the category that covers paint, chemicals, pool products and batteries, and electronic scrap covers the devices the hauler will not take in a cart.
The drop-off runs on the third Saturday of each month only, and the City states that the hauler will not collect household hazardous waste at the curb, so this is a self-haul route rather than a collection service. Confirm any load limit when you arrive.
The third Saturday of every month from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
No charge. Free of charge to Manatee County residents on the published monthly drop-off day.
