Answer
Weekly Household Garbage
Palm Coast residents have many different types of pick-ups each week, Garbage, Bulk, Recycling, Yard Waste and White good removal. You can find your service day by visiting our https://www.palmcoast.gov/customer-service/garbage or contacting Customer Service. It is important to remember these are days of service and pick-ups can occur anytime between 6am-6pm as route times are subject to change. All debris should be set in the service area before 6am no earlier than 6pm the day before.
Each home has two days during the week when garbage can be disposed of. The first garbage day will cover your standard weekly generated garbage, while the second day will cover your garbage as well as bulk collection.
Bulk pickup covers large and bulky items that aren’t generated by weekly household trash or considered white goods. You can dispose of up to 3 cubic yards worth of bulk items per week.
White goods are items such as washing machines, dryers, and refrigerators. Ensure the doors are removed from refrigerators prior to pick up. These items can be scheduled for pickup by contacting the City through customer service, or by submitting a request into Palm Coast Connect.
The total yard waste cannot exceed 2 cubic yards (about 3ft x 3ft x 6ft) in size and/or 50lbs in weight. Individual items within the pile may not exceed 5 feet in length, and/or 6 inches in diameter. Ensure that your pile is located within the correct service area on your property.
Debris should not be placed on a vacant lots as residential service is not provided on undeveloped properties. This can create hazards and is generally unsightly.
Yard waste should not be co-mingled with items such as rocks, lumber, other types of trash, or construction debris.
While the use of black bags is permitted, it is more difficult for the hauler to know what they are collecting, which may cause delays. Items do not have to containerized or bundled, simply leave in the designated removal area.
Your pickup times should be viewed as a day of service, rather than of a time of service. The hauler can service your area anytime between 6am and 6pm. Ensure your items are placed out prior to 6am by setting out any time after 6pm the night before.
So how do you get rid of items that are outside of these guidelines? Residents can set out one 2 cubic yard pile each week, the Hauler will not take some and leave the rest. If a pile is oversized, the contractor will tag the pile for pricing, the city does not have the ability to regulate charges on items outside of our contracted amounts. Residents may also choose one of the local landfill sites to take their debris to.
