Cart-To-Curb Phase 2: Select your cart size now!

Automated trash collection under the Cart-To-Curb system will begin for Phase 2 residents in August of 2022. Residents who receive Plant City solid waste services and did not previously receive a cart during Phase 1 in 2021 are encourages to select their new cart size by May 6.

Multi-family units that currently receive service via dumpster will continue to be serviced in the same manner and will not need to select a cart size. However, if a residence receives curbside collection service, such as a duplex or house with multiple units, the account holder should contect Utilities Billing to request the preferred quantity and sizes of carts.

For more information on the Cart-To-Curb Automated Trash Collection process or to select your cart size, please visit www.plantcitygov.com/solid-waste/page/cart-curb-automated-trash-collection.

Southeastern Grocers Inc. to raise money for National Pet Month

Southeastern Grocers, Inc., the parent company and home of Fresco y Mas, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, is raising support for local animal rescues and shelters through its Community Bag program in honor of National Pet Month.

Throughout the month of May, customers at any of these stores will have the opportunity to purchase a new reusable community bag for $2.99 to help local homeless animals while also benefiting the environment by reducing the use of paper and plastic bags. SEG is partnering with nearly 400 animal shelters and rescues throughout the Southeast — including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi — for its Pet Month Community Bag Program.

For every bag purchased, $1 will be directed to each store’s partner animal shelter organization.

“At Southeastern Grocers, we are dedicated to supporting causes that are important to our customers and associates, and we know our communities are big animal lovers,” said Raymond Rhee, Chief People Officer for Southeastern Grocers. “With the purchase of a community bag during the month of May, our customers can help our furry, four-legged friends in need of a forever home and reduce the use of single-use plastic bags to nurture a healthier, more sustainable planet. Together, we can make the world a better place for humans and animals alike.”
