Bulky pickup in Jacksonville
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Jacksonville Solid Waste collects mattresses, furniture, carpet (≤5 feet), and fencing on the household bulk program. Automated-collection areas typically get bulk every other week; non-automated areas get bulk weekly with garbage. Set piles out by 6 a.m. Call 630-CITY or use MyJax for questions. Appliances and tires are not ordinary bulk — they require a separate service request.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Jacksonville never collects household hazardous waste curbside. Take materials to the HHW Facility at 2675 Commonwealth Avenue (Tue–Sat 8–5, 904-387-8847). Accepted streams include batteries, paint, propane, fluorescents, and related HHW. Motor oil is accepted with a 27-gallon limit per 30 days — never curbside.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Take mixed electronic waste to Jacksonville’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 2675 Commonwealth Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32254 (Tue–Sat 8 a.m.–5 p.m., 904-387-8847). Flat-screen TVs may also use scheduled curbside; other e-waste should use the facility. Keep electronics out of trash and recycling carts.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Jacksonville allows limited homeowner construction debris on bulk: up to about 1 cubic yard weekly in non-automated areas or 2 cubic yards every other week in automated areas, pieces ≤5 feet and ≤40 lb. Contractor debris is not a city service — hire a private C&D hauler. Keep HHW and Freon appliances on their own pathways.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Jacksonville collects yard waste weekly as a separate stream. Limits typically include about 5 cubic yards, with limbs ≤5 feet long and under 6 inches in diameter. Keep yard waste out of recycling and out of plastic bags when city rules require paper/bundling.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Jacksonville recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. MyJax — Solid waste quick reference is the official Jacksonville program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
