A Florence City communications staff member said the city’s sanitation crews begin collection at 7:30 a.m. and collect waste from more than 14,000 homes each week.
The announcement, delivered through the city’s Florence in Focus program, summarized what residents may place at the curb, the one free 18‑gallon green recycling bin available per household, and how to request extra bins for $10 each.
City staff emphasized that crews handle household garbage, yard waste and recycling.
