On February 22, 2023, The North Sumter County Utility Dependent District (NSCUDD) Board of Supervisors, along with Kenny Blocker, District Manager for The Villages Community Development Districts, and representatives from Jacobs “cut the ribbon” on the new Sumter Sanitation Solid Waste Operating Facility in Wildwood, Florida.
Sumter Sanitation, which was purchased by the North Sumter County Utility Dependent District in December 2012, services Marion County, Sumter County and the Fruitland Park area of The Villages. Since the purchase, NSCUDD has contracted with Jacobs to operate the solid waste and yard waste collection system.

We utilize a Reworld “Waste-to-Energy” program that diverts waste from landfills to generate energy from the combustion of municipal solid waste. Waste-to-Energy is the only form of energy generation that actually reduces greenhouse gases and plays an important role in addressing climate change due to avoiding methane from landfills, offsetting emissions from fossil fuel electrical production and recovering metals for recycling.
Waste-to-Energy facilities convert waste to power steam turbines which generate electricity for homes and businesses, reducing greenhouse gases and landfill waste. The resulting ash is processed to recover metal for recycling while all gases are collected, filtered and cleaned to minimize environmental impact.

NSCUDD purchased land and buildings at 1515 NW 44th Drive, Wildwood, Florida to establish a permanent operations and maintenance facility for Sumter Sanitation.
A long-time partner of the District, Jacobs made a one-time capital contribution in excess of 1.3 million dollars for improvements to the facility to enhance its operational capabilities. Jacobs invested these funds to redesign the building layout to improve functionality and usability.
The new facility will allow for significantly improved onsite vehicle maintenance, increased safety, vehicle wash rack and much more.
The ribbon cutting marked the official use of this greatly improved space, providing office and training space, a reception area, enclosed maintenance facilities and a high-pressure wash rack to clean the trucks after use.
With this transition, we anticipate Jacobs will operate out of this significantly improved facility for many years to come.
