Sumter County Solid Waste Department

Small county solid waste site off County Road 529 that locals use for household trash, yard debris and recycling drop-offs. Folks from Sumterville and Bushnell bring regular loads and occasional bulky items here. It reads like a working yard more than a tidy commercial lot, with an entrance booth and drive-through lanes.

There’s an entrance booth and a weigh scale near the exit, so plan for at least a couple of short stops while inside. Big metal dumpsters, concrete pads and piles of yard waste are visible from the drive; it feels like a practical, utilitarian place. Unloading often means backing up to a bin or tipping into a container, so have help handy for heavy pieces. Expect lines on weekends, during spring clean-up and after storms, and hurricane season can disrupt normal operations.
