Live in unincorporated Palm Beach County? Garbage, recyclables and yard waste will be collected on Friday and Saturday, July 3 and the Fourth of July, for residents and businesses in unincorporated Palm Beach County. Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County disposal facilities are open and haulers in unincorporated Palm Beach County will run their regular routes. Residents should place all garbage, recyclables and yard waste curbside by 6 a.m. All garbage should be placed in plastic garbage bags and tied to prevent any potentially virus contaminated waste from coming into contact with your waste workers.
While SWA administrative offices will be closed in observation of the holiday on Friday, July 3, a limited number of Customer Service team members will be available to assist residents with any garbage or recyclable collection questions or concerns. SWA Customer Service can be reached at 561-697-2700 or 866-792-4636.
