Bulk waste

Bulk Waste Pickup

Bulk waste includes items that are too large to fit inside your garbage cart. Clay County households may request pickup of up to two large items or up to three cubic yards of bulk waste.

Each household is limited to one bulk pickup per month. Before placing items curbside, call FCC Environmental Services at (904) 490-9996 or request service through FCC Environmental Services.

When to Place Bulk Items Curbside

FCC will provide the next available collection day for your location based on its service schedule. Bulk items should not be placed curbside more than one day before your scheduled collection day. Additional pickups may be available for a fee.

Accepted Bulk Items

  • Appliances, such as refrigerators, stoves, and toilets
  • Furniture, including indoor and outdoor furniture
  • Mattress and box spring sets, counted as one furniture item
  • Televisions
  • Large children’s toys

Note: Larger items, such as basketball poles, gym equipment, and swing sets, must be fully disassembled. Concrete must be removed from all poles and posts.

Moving In or Moving Out?

Move-In Courtesy Pickup

New residents may request a one-time courtesy pickup for flattened boxes and bagged packing materials generated during relocation.

Call FCC Environmental Services at (904) 490-9996 or request service through FCC Environmental Services before placing items curbside.

Move-Out Waste

FCC Environmental Services does not automatically collect bulk waste from move-outs. Contact FCC to discuss pickup options, or contact one of the County’s approved franchise haulers.

Items Not Accepted as Bulk Waste

  • Miscellaneous trash that can fit inside a garbage cart or overflow bag
  • Construction and remodeling debris, including boards, cabinets, carpet, flooring, tile, sinks, fencing, outbuildings, decks, pallets, dog houses, brick, concrete, doors, windows, siding, and shingles
  • Gas engines
  • Car parts
  • Pianos and organs
  • Ping pong tables and pool tables
  • Hot tubs and hot tub covers

See the options below for disposal alternatives.

Remodeling and Home Repair Waste

Waste from home remodeling and repairs is not included in bulk pickup. Small do-it-yourself project waste, such as a faucet or light fixture, may be placed inside your garbage cart.

Professional home repair and remodeling businesses are responsible for collecting and disposing of their own waste. You may contact FCC to discuss collection options or contact one of the County’s approved franchise haulers.

Other Disposal Options

  • Contact FCC Environmental Services to arrange a special pickup for a fee.
  • Bring up to one level pickup truck load at no charge to an Environmental Convenience Center.
  • If you receive County garbage collection service, you may bring up to 500 pounds per month at no charge to the Rosemary Hill Solid Waste Facility. Amounts over 500 pounds are charged regular fees.
  • Contact one of the County’s approved franchise haulers to schedule removal.

As a reminder, curbside collection includes three types of waste: household garbage, yard trash, and bulk waste. Learn more about yard trash guidelines.
