Recycling in Sarasota, Florida

Sarasota County runs single-stream, cart-based automated recycling for residents in unincorporated Sarasota, with one county-provided cart per residence paid for through the annual non-ad valorem assessment on the property tax bill. Because a robotic arm empties the cart, anything set beside it is simply not collected. Household chemicals go to one of three county facilities, free with proof of residency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can Sarasota County residents recycle curbside?

Aluminum and steel cans, food and beverage cartons, glass bottles and jars, mixed paper, paper board, cardboard, newspapers and magazines, and plastic bottles. Lightly rinse items and replace lids before putting them in the cart. Containers or packaging with food residue belong in the garbage instead.

Does the county provide the recycling cart?

Yes. Sarasota County provides one recycling cart per residence. Collection service and disposal for the items in that one cart are included in the annual non-ad valorem assessment collected through the property owner's tax bill.

What if I have more recycling than fits in the cart?

It will not be picked up. With automated collection, only recyclable materials placed inside the cart are collected, and anything left outside the cart or in personal containers is left behind. Do not overload the cart, because the lid must close completely.

Where does household hazardous waste go in Sarasota County?

Most household hazardous waste is not collected curbside for safety and cost reasons. Residents may take accepted items to a county Chemical Collection Center free of charge, with proof of county residency such as a driver's license, tax bill, or utility bill. The North center is at 8750 Bee Ridge Road in Sarasota and the South center is at 250 S. Jackson Road in Venice, both open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Citizens' Convenience Center at 4000 Knights Trail Road in Nokomis is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

What do the Chemical Collection Centers accept?

Automotive batteries and automotive products, button, nickel-cadmium, lithium-ion and rechargeable batteries, cell phones, chemicals and cleaners, electronics such as computer systems and printers, fertilizers, fire extinguishers, fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps, gasoline, lawn and garden chemicals, paints and paint thinner, pesticides, pool chemicals, sharps in a proper container only, solvents, and used motor oil.

Recycling tips for Sarasota

  • •Place recyclables loosely in the cart and never in plastic bags.
  • •Keep the cart at least 3 feet from trash containers, mailboxes, utility poles, and cars.
  • •Position the cart so the opening of the lid faces the street.
  • •Set the cart out after 5 p.m. the day before and have it curbside by 6 a.m. on collection day.
  • •Bring the empty cart in from the curb by 10 a.m. the day after collection.
