Lealman Garbage and Recycling Collection

The Lealman Solid Waste Collection and Disposal District receives garbage collection through a Municipal Services Benefit Unit or MSBU. The district was created at the request of Lealman residents after they demonstrated to the Board of County Commissioners that numerous waste and litter issues existed in Lealman, creating community health and safety concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Billing

The residential garbage collection and disposal fee appears on your property’s tax bill each year as a non-ad valorem assessment. You will not receive a bill from Coastal Waste and Recycling. Like property taxes, collection of the assessment is in arrears. This means that the annual cost of garbage collection service for a calendar year appears on the tax bill issued in November of the service year. Although the assessment appears on your tax bill, it is a fee for service, not a tax. Collection of the service fee on the property tax bill keeps administrative costs low, allowing us to keep the cost of service low. However, just like taxes, there are discounts of up to 4% available for early payment.
