Zephyrhills Yard Waste Disposal Rules: A Quick Reminder

Zephyrhills residents must follow specific guidelines for yard waste disposal to ensure efficient collection by the Public Works Department. These rules help maintain service standards and keep city streets clean.

Branches must be bundled with a thickness or diameter under 6 inches and be 3 to 4 feet in length. Homeowners can place a maximum of 10 bags of leaves per pickup. Residents must position these bundles and bags at least 3 feet away from any city trash carts (Z-Carts) and ensure they do not block traffic.

Residents must contact the Public Works Department to schedule a yard waste pickup. Proper preparation of yard waste is crucial for collection. Bundles should be secured with twine or rope. The 10-bag limit for leaves and the 3-foot clearance from Z-Carts allow city crews to properly pick up materials.
