September 30, 2013 is the official start date for Hillsborough County Automated Garbage and Recycling Collection.

Please take the time to read the packet and if you find you still have questions, you can visit  http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/index.aspx?NID=2945 or if you want to talk to a person, please call 813-272-5680.
