Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not typical free city bulk. Use Polk landfill C&D (published per-ton fees) or private C&D. Route paint to Polk HHW.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Lakeland city yard waste is part of the 4 free bulk/yard collections per year.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Lakeland 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. City of Lakeland — Large Bulk Pickups is the official Lakeland 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.
