Solid Waste Facility
Highlands County Solid Waste Management Center
Highlands County Solid Waste Management Center, 12700 Arbuckle Creek Road, Sebring, 33870, Florida
Highlands County Solid Waste Management Center in Sebring is the county site where locals haul household trash, yard debris and recyclables. It sits on Arbuckle Creek Road and gets used by anyone with a pickup, trailer or car full of cleanup material.
There’s a small entrance booth and a single drive lane where vehicles pull up to check in. A scale is usually farther in - many county sites charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. Recycling containers are typically grouped just past the entrance with larger roll-off dumpsters and yard piles set deeper into the property. Weekends are the busiest, and operations can be affected or delayed during hurricane season or after big storms.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and yard debris before pulling up so unloading is quicker and less confusing.
- Secure loose loads with tarps or straps; wind and passing trucks can scatter material in a hurry.
- Try for midweek or mid-morning to avoid the long weekend lines, and be prepared for heavier traffic right after storms or community cleanups.
