Citrus County Solid Waste Management

A county solid waste facility in Lecanto that handles everyday household trash plus recycling and yard debris for local residents. Locals and people hauling cleanup loads from around Citrus County use it, especially when clearing yards or after storms. The site is a fairly large, industrial-looking place with piles and separate working areas for different materials.

Drive up to an entrance where there is usually a checkpoint or booth before getting onto the main site; expect to slow down and show ID or proof of residency if required. Vehicles often go over a scale and may have to stop again after unloading, so plan for a two-step process rather than pull-in-and-go. There are separate sections for bulk/yard debris, recycling drop-offs, and regular trash - signage and traffic flow channels direct where each type of load should go. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get busy, and hurricane season creates noticeably larger lines and more construction-like activity on site.
