The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Apopka runs its own sanitation division and issues a black household trash cart and a gray recycling cart to every account. Furniture and other large items go out with the yard waste collection day inside a four cubic yard allowance, while appliances, electronics and televisions are scheduled separately for a Wednesday pickup with the refrigerator or freezer doors removed and a Freon fee on units that hold it. Paint, oil, batteries and other hazardous products never go in the carts and are routed to Orange County's drop-off sites instead, and collection pauses only on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Get it ready
Keep the carts at the curb by 7 a.m. and do not rely on the usual time, since routes change drivers and order.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky waste and yard waste are free for up to four cubic yards, with each additional cubic yard charged at the published rate and non-bundled yard waste charged even at the base allowance. Moving boxes go out on the same bulky and yard waste day.

No charge. Furniture rides the bulky allowance that is free for up to four cubic yards on the yard waste collection day, with each additional cubic yard charged.

City sanitation customers who schedule the unit for a Wednesday pickup. Doors must be removed from refrigerators and freezers before the unit is placed curbside for safety.
When & how
Call the city to schedule the appliance for pickup on any Wednesday, then set it curbside by 7 a.m. on that day. Appliances are not part of the ordinary curbside trash or recycling carts.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove the doors from any refrigerator or freezer before it goes out, as the city requires for safety, and keep oils, chemicals and other hazardous material out of the load because those go to the county sites.

Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the gray recycling cart, because the city lists hazardous materials and electronics on the do not list and warns that contamination can get a whole load rejected. Wipe personal data from computers, phones and tablets before they leave the house.
No Apopka page retained names a mattress, although the city describes bulky items as large items such as furniture and prices bulky waste by volume, so a mattress has to be confirmed with the city before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress rate and does not name mattresses, so call Public Services at 407-703-1731 or check the Waste Wizard and confirm that a mattress counts inside the four cubic yard bulky allowance before it is set out on the yard waste day.
When & how
No named mattress collection day. Confirm with the city first, and expect the piece to go out with the bulky and yard waste route rather than with either cart.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the carts, keep it whole, and keep the total pile inside four cubic yards so the load does not draw the additional cubic yard charge.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulky, appliance or recycling material lists, so a machine has to be confirmed with the city before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and the city does not name the category, so call Public Services at 407-703-1731 and confirm whether the machine may go out with the bulky and yard waste route before booking anything.
When & how
No named collection day for this item. Confirm with the city, then use the bulky and yard waste route if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart, remove any console or battery pack, and keep the frame out of the trash and recycling carts.
The city publishes residential trash, recycling, bulky and yard waste rules plus a commercial container schedule, but no residential construction debris route, so a renovation load needs a confirmation and a private arrangement.
City cost & eligibility
No residential construction debris rate is published. The rate schedule prices non-residential containers and extra pickups only, so call Public Services at 407-703-1731 to ask what the city will accept and arrange a private hauler or container for the rest.
When & how
No residential collection day for construction material. Keep it off the curb and out of the carts, and ask the city before the project produces debris.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, dirt, treated wood and mixed renovation material out of the bulky and yard waste pile, and keep liquids, paint and chemicals out entirely because those go to the Orange County sites.
Containers must be curbside no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, and the city warns against relying on the usual time because routes are not always run by the same driver in the same order. Tags left on a container are educational reminders about the collection rules rather than fines.
Bulky waste and yard waste are free for up to four cubic yards, with each additional cubic yard charged and non-bundled yard waste charged even inside the base allowance.

Orange County takes them at the landfill on Young Pine Road and the Porter Transfer Station on Good Homes Road, both open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with questions handled on the county solid waste hotline at 407-836-6601. Empty paint cans with dry leftovers may go in the garbage.
There is no residential or commercial collection for garbage, recycling, yard waste or bulky service on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, and there are no make up days, so the next regularly scheduled pickup covers it. Collection runs on every other holiday.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
