Pasco County wants to remind residents that it does not pick up trash and recycling, but it does have eight licensed trash haulers that do pick up trash and recycling and take it to the county facilities.
For those who do not have curbside recycling pickup, the county recommends using one of these drop-off locations:
- East Pasco Recycling Center, 9626 Handcart Road, in Dade City. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Additional materials are accepted. Call 352-521-0500 for more information.
