Recycling Do's and Don'ts   
​(also Trash Collection and Household Hazardous Waste)

​ 

Per the Villages districtgov.org site: 

In an effort to maintain the aesthetic quality of our beautiful community, we are pleased to provide you with information regarding curbside recycling, trash collection and the disposal of household hazardous waste.

Sanitation services are a contractual provision of your deed covenant and are required on a year round basis provided by two independent vendors:

Waste Management for Lady Lake and Lake County and Sumter Sanitation for Marion and Sumter County.

Sanitation is charged to Village Residents year round irrespective of whether or not the home is occupied. Waste Management bills customers directly and Sumter Sanitation bills in advance as part of the combined bill sent by VCDD Utilities.

Rubbish is to be placed in dark plastic bags…… Recycling is to be placed in clear plastic bags…. Yard waste is to be bundled or placed in brown paper bags.

Items should be placed at the curb on the night before your pickup date.

Please download these helpful guides.

​Our understanding per past POA report       (can be verified via a link or by calling above)
 * PLASTICS:  Recycle any plastic with a recycle triangle on the bottom 
showing numbers 1 through 7. 
 * METAL CANS - Recycle vegetable cans to dog food cans to aluminum soda cans - all basic food container metals are fine to recycle. 
 * PAPER:  Do recycle paper, fiber, cardboard, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, phonebooks and other mixed paper. 
 
* YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN:  you can recycle aseptic contaniners like orange juice containers and you can recycle glass. 
 
* FOR THE MACHINES' SAKE - Do not recycle:   shredded paper (gets caught in the machines). Don't crush bottles. Do empty out all 
      liquids inside. Don't put stuff inside other stuff (machines can't go through progressive stages of separation by type of item). Any
      paper smaller than an index card poses a problem for the machines. 
 * Additional items you should not recycle:  wrappables including plastic 
bags (exception is the clear bag recycles go in), twine, clothing, 
      baby dolls, toys, etc. (they get caught in the screens).    Metals you should not recycle include:  chains, guns, scrap metal, lawn mower 
      blades, bowling balls, hazardous items, etc.
