Bulk Waste
Bulk Waste collection is intended for those items that are too large to fit inside the garbage roll cart.
Guidelines for Bulk Waste collection:
- Curbside Collection Guidelines
- Bulk Waste Collection Guidelines
- Bulk waste items must be:
- within three feet of the curb or edge of the street
- at least three feet from other fixed objects
Bulk collection will be limited to Furniture and Appliance collection, which will take place once a month on a pre-set, scheduled day. To find out your current scheduled collection day, or for more information, please visit Find Your Collection Day or call (863) 284-4319. Household items that were not structurally attached to the house are acceptable. No construction debris or eviction/move-outs will be collected. All items should be curbside by 6 a.m. on your collection day. Items not in compliance will not be collected; if they stay curbside they may be subject to code enforcement violations.
Removal of Non-Conforming Material or Non-Conforming Bulk Waste
If items placed curbside do not meet the bulk waste collection criteria, then please utilize the list of commercial haulers for the removal of non-conforming materials or waste.
