What Jacksonville collects, and what you do with the rest
Every city route below is capped. Read the last two columns first: they decide whether the city takes your load at all, or only part of it.
| Route | What it costs | How much it takes | The condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curbside, regular collection day | — | Bulk is whatever cannot go in the City-issued garbage cart because of its volume, size, shape or weight — but what gets collected varies by item type and by service area, so the same pile is not treated the same across the city. | Everything must be out by 6 a.m. on collection day and within five feet of the curb. Mattresses, sofas, chairs, other furniture and BBQ grills are taken as household bulk. Mirrors and table tops have to be wrapped and taped; rolled carpet and padding must be no longer than five feet; wire fencing rolled into secured bundles and wooden fencing cut into five-foot sections. Putting hazardous waste into residential collection is unlawful under Municipal Code 380.209. |
| Booked city collection | — | — | Tires and appliances. These are not part of the ordinary bulk set-out and have to be booked separately. |
| Hire a hauler | You pay — quotes come from local companies bidding against each other. | No item cap and no wrapping, residency or vehicle rule. | They carry it out; nothing has to reach the curb under its own steam. |
