When will Bradenton pick up trash, recycling and yard waste? Here’s the new schedule
Trash pickup within Bradenton’s city limits will continue on an alternate schedule through the month of November, city leaders announced Wednesday.
Public Works first implemented the changes earlier this year due to a nationwide truck driver shortage. Recruitment efforts are ongoing, and the Bradenton City Council recently approved an incentive program to attract employees, but the alternate schedule will continue for several more weeks.
Regular garbage collection remains the city’s top priority, but yard waste and recycling will continue to only be picked up once every other week.

Residents are asked to place their yard waste or recycling bins along the street during their usual pickup day of that designated week.
