Jacksonville Bulk Trash Pickup: What the City Takes

A Simple Guide for Duval County Homeowners

The City of Jacksonville collects a lot of household junk at the curb – but there are limits on what, how much, and when. This guide sums up the City’s bulk and yard waste rules, and explains when a private junk removal service like Duval Junk Removal is the faster option.

Rules can change, so always confirm your schedule at coj.net/swschedule or by calling 630-CITY (2489).

What City Bulk Pickup Accepts

According to the City’s Solid Waste Quick Reference Guide, curbside bulk collection accepts:

  • Furniture and mattresses
  • Rolled carpet and padding
  • Fencing and plywood
  • Treated or painted wood
  • Non-recyclable glass, such as mirrors (wrapped and taped)

Bulk items are picked up weekly in some service areas and every other week in others. Place items at least three feet away from your garbage and recycling carts.

Yard Waste Limits in Jacksonville

  • Up to 5 cubic yards per week – about 30 bags of 32 gallons, or one pickup-truck bed.
  • Limbs, logs, and stumps must be 5 feet long or less and under 6 inches in diameter.
  • No item or container over 40 pounds.
  • Natural yard waste only – no lumber, fencing, plywood, or treated wood mixed in.
  • Contractor tree debris is not collected. If you hired a tree company, they must haul it away.

Items That Need a Request (or Are Not Collected)

  • Appliances are picked up by request only. Doors must be removed or secured, and food must be taken out.
  • Tires are picked up by request only – up to four standard vehicle tires.
  • Household hazardous waste (chemicals, paint, and similar) is not collected at the curb. See coj.net/hhw for drop-off options.

When to Call a Junk Removal Company Instead

City pickup is a great free option, but it doesn’t fit every job. Call Duval Junk Removal when:

  • You can’t wait for your next bulk or yard waste day.
  • The items are inside your home, attic, or garage and you need them carried out.
  • You have more than the weekly yard waste limit, or limbs that are too long or heavy.
  • You have remodel or construction debris.
  • You’re clearing out a whole house, rental, or estate – see estate cleanouts.
  • A storm left more than the city can pick up – see storm debris cleanup.

We offer furniture removal, appliance removal, and yard waste removal, often with same-day or next-day pickup.
