Residential Service
The City contracts with Waste Management (WM) for garbage and recycling collection. Customers are billed monthly through the City for this service, but questions about collections and pick-up requests should be directed to Waste Management.

Starting with the February 1, 2026 bill, the monthly trash rate is:
| Regular rate: | $22.19 |
| Senior citizens rate*: | $21.19 |
*Senior citizens (65+) with trash service in their name qualify for a discounted rate.
A 10% penalty fee will be applied to any unpaid trash bill after the due date.

Trash Service FAQ
Summer Heat Schedule
WM operates one hour in the summertime earlier to allow crews to finish their routes and avoid the hottest hours of the day. Please ensure all items are on the curb by 5 a.m. on your collection day each week. This change ensures safer and more efficient working conditions for WM crews during the hot summer season. The City of Spring Hill and WM appreciate your cooperation!

Households north of 207th Street will have trash, recycling and yard waste pickup on Thursdays, beginning October 5. Households south of 207th Street will have trash, recycling and yard waste pickup remain on Fridays.
