Residential Disposal Area
The County landfill recommends that all potential customers planning to dispose of something other than Household Hazardous Waste do so by truck. Vehicles with low ground clearance are discouraged.
Please note that customers enter the landfill at their own risk and Manatee County is not responsible for any damage incurred while using the landfill. Customer charges will be double the regular tipping fee should your load be improperly covered. Loads must be tarped and fully contained to eliminate the possiblity of load loss while traveling to the Landfill. Regular operating hours are Monday-Saturday 8:00-5:00.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Odor Control
To comply with Federal and State regulations, the Manatee County Landfill flares off the methane gas that is generated by decomposing wastes. This process has virtually eliminated all of the Landfill's odor as well as provides cleaner air. Currently Manatee County is exploring the idea of harnessing the gas to produce electricity for its neighboring Wastewater Treatment Plant.
