Comprehensive Guide & Details
Waste Pro Partnership and Area Schedules
The City of Longwood contracts exclusively with Waste Pro USA to manage household refuse and automated recycling. Unlike smaller cities with universal neighborhood pickup days, Longwood is geographically segmented into three distinct service zones, each operating on its own customized weekly collection timeline. To ensure your bins are successfully emptied by the mechanized trucks, you must roll your carts to the right-of-way by 7:00 a.m. on your designated service morning. The municipal government currently charges a standard curbside rate of $30.68 per month, though residents requiring extra mobility assistance can opt for premium side-yard service at $42.05 monthly.
City-Wide Wednesday Yard Debris Rules
While standard garbage routes vary drastically depending on your subdivision, yard waste collection is heavily synchronized across the entire city every Wednesday. Property owners must ensure that grass clippings, palm fronds, and tree trimmings are properly bundled, boxed, or bagged to facilitate quick removal. It is crucial to keep your vegetative debris completely separated from heavy construction materials like roofing shingles or fencing, as post-storm debris and regular yard waste are handled by entirely different heavy-duty claw vehicles.
On-Demand Bulk Collection Procedures
Disposing of an old couch, heavily soiled mattress, or broken refrigerator in Longwood requires a proactive approach. These bulky materials cannot be simply shoved into your standard household garbage can or left anonymously on the swale. Instead, residents benefit from an excellent on-demand bulk waste removal system. You must directly contact the Waste Pro local dispatch at 407-869-8800 or submit an online request ticket to schedule a specialized flatbed truck for your specific property address.
Holiday Delays and Damaged Cart Replacements
Sanitation operations completely halt on major observed holidays, including Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day, resulting in a one-day delayed schedule for the remainder of that calendar week. If the automated mechanical arms happen to crack your bin, or if a collection is accidentally bypassed, you do not have to wait on hold with a dispatcher. The municipal government offers a highly convenient online reporting form through the city portal to report missed stops or request a brand new cart.
