Hernando County convenience centers and dump hours
Convenience centers are what most people call the dump. This page covers two convenience centers and the Northwest Solid Waste Management Facility (Main Landfill). Each one’s hours are posted below, with the rules that apply.
What to do with tires, mattresses, paint, and more
Before you go
- Every Hernando County site takes Hernando County waste only. Show a driver’s license with a current Hernando County address, or an out-of-county license with a TRIM notice, utility bill, or deed. Staff don’t help unload, so bring help, and keep children and pets in the vehicle.
- Recycling and household hazardous waste are free at all three sites, as long as staff can see what they are: bring them in original containers, open bins, or clear bags, and keep plastic bags separate.
Convenience centers
- The convenience centers serve homes that pay the county’s solid waste disposal assessment; the owner or resident has to bring the waste. Since June 1, 2026 they charge $5 a visit for up to five bags of household garbage (60 gallons or less each) and $15 for more bags, bulky loads and furniture, or yard waste. One trip a day, five trips a year with a trailer (under 5 feet wide, 10 feet long, and 2 feet high), and no more than 100 cubic feet a load; bigger loads go to the Main Landfill.
