When I looked this up online it said that they were open.... I drove all the way over there from highway 19 to find out that they were totally flooded... Not their fault but posting that online would help people not waste their time.

Used to be good terrible service now. That place used to be great but someone changed rules so you can only do 1 trip per day and household now. Result is more people are dumping their waste in the surrounding area. They also stopped giving out free mulch made from yard waste which used to be very helpful. To me it's just a question of when they are going to shut the whole facility down and send everyone to Brooksville main station. I am so glad taxes went up so much this year so we get to appreciate every single service our county provides "free" to us.

So forget this company! Highway robery!!! Paid 1300 plus for 8 days a 20yard dumpster. I filled it and in order to fulfill my 9 days I asked if it could be picked up and dumped do that I may utilize it all 9 days. They said sure for an extra 1200 dollars! Gtfoh! Not only are the days I paid for not up but I need to pay to get it dumped in order to be able to continue to use it? Do not do business here for home projects it's not worth it. Better to rent a dump trailer which could be cheaper and u will be able to dump it as many times as u want for the period you have it. I went this company because they have the prices posted and didn't think to call around. Mistake well learned.
