SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) — Sarasota County is launching a new solid waste service set to begin March 31.

The initiative is called Fresh Start With A Cart, hoping to meet the needs of residents in unincorporated areas of the county.

The service will take over garbage collection for both residents and businesses after a competitive bidding process to secure high-quality service by Sarasota County to help the community.

The changes will include: new service days, bulk pickup, curbside collection and each household will receive one garbage cart. Residents and businesses can find their collection day through an interactive map here.
