- Household trash (twice-a-week pick-up)

If you'd like to request a container or report a missed pick-up, please call 407-656-2256. Keep in mind that pick-up times may vary.
Our services are billed on your monthly City water bill. Please visit Utility Billing to start service or for information regarding your account.
Find Your Collection Days
- Place your container on the curb no later than 7 a.m. on collection day. Remove it no later than 7 p.m. the same day.
- Place your container with its handle facing your house. Make sure it is set away from your mailbox, trees, or any other object that may prevent the truck from accessing it.
- Dispose of household trash only in your container. Containers with items such as yard waste, liquids, and building materials will not be emptied.
- Garbage must be set out in containers provided by the City of Winter Garden.
- If you are physically unable to place your containers curbside, you may request door-side pick-up services. Please call 407-656-2256 for details.
