What it takes
It’s the only place in Manatee County that takes tires, appliances, some mattresses, brush, and construction debris. The Manatee County Hazardous Waste Facility takes paint, electronics, used motor oil, batteries, and household hazardous waste.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
Manatee County rules
- Cars, SUVs, and passenger minivans pay a flat $5 at the landfill’s residential drop-off, and pickups with no trailer $23 for loads under 1,000 pounds. Everything else crosses the scales and pays by the ton. Uncovered loads and mixed loads (yard waste or tires in with garbage) pay double, and waste from outside Manatee County pays triple. Cash, check, or card.
- Since May 1, 2026, unincorporated Manatee County customers can set out two bulk items at the curb once a month on their zone’s day, free; tires, appliances, and the yearly 10-cubic-yard pickup have to be scheduled through the county’s customer portal. More items cost $59 each, or take them to the landfill’s residential drop-off.
