Trash & Recycling Information

TRASH & RECYCLING

In Unincorporated Seminole County – Garbage, recycling, yard waste collection fees, and landfill disposal charges are billed to residents as a non-ad valorem assessment on the tax roll. (The following information was pulled from the seminolecountyfl.gov website.)

Service within our Knollwood community includes two household waste pickups weekly along with one yard waste and recycling collection. All materials must be curbside by 6:00 A.M.

Any concerns regarding haulers or service problems are handled through the Seminole County Solid Waste Division. If you experienced a missed pickup, please call their Customer Service Department: (407) 665-2260 Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm
