Mattress Removal in Apopka, FL

The City of Apopka Public Works / Solid Waste Division (748 E. Cleveland Street; main; utility billing) runs once-weekly residential yard-waste collection on a day that varies by household address — residents look up their day in the City's ReCollect Calendar / Waste Wizard. Containers and yard piles must be at the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. on the assigned day. The bundling rules tighten the load fast: branches and fronds must be no more than 4 feet long, tied in bundles weighing no more than 30 lbs, and no thicker than 6 inches around — "non-bundled waste will incur a charge." Anything over 4 cubic yards is reclassified as a bulky pickup and a fee is assessed on the City's sanitation rates schedule. Grass clippings are not collected — the City directs residents to grasscycle (leave clippings on the lawn after mowing). Leaves are accepted bagged or loose in cans at ≤ 30 lbs, but NOT in the city black-trash or gray-recycling carts. Christmas trees ride out on the regular yard-waste day after decorations and tinsel are removed. Furniture is also accepted on yard-waste day; appliances, electronics, and TVs are scheduled separately for "any Wednesday," with a $16.11 freon-removal fee per unit on refrigerators and freezers (doors removed before curbside placement). Wooded-area residents along the Wekiva corridor are told to wait until "the morning of collection" to set carts and piles out due to black bear activity — direct friction with the same 7:00 a.m. setout deadline. The yard-waste stream explicitly bans construction and demolition debris (drywall, lumber, tile, concrete, brick, roofing tear-off) — those route to Golden Gem Landfill (3602 Golden Gem Road, Umatilla 32784, Lake County, ~13 mi NW via SR-437/SR-46; M–F 7 a.m.–5 p.m., Sat 7 a.m.–2 p.m.;) or WM Vista Landfill (242 W. Keene Road, Apopka 32703, in city limits off Plymouth Sorrento Rd north of US-441; M–F 7 a.m.–3 p.m., no Saturday hours posted by the City). HHW, paint, oil, chemicals, and batteries route off-channel to the Orange County HHW / Solid Waste Hotline online. No collection runs on Thanksgiving or Christmas Day, with no make-up days. During an active named-storm watch the curbside route stops, and tree and C&D debris route to Vista or Golden Gem; the City's Storm Waste Collection page tells residents to clear yard debris BEFORE a storm is named. Outside city limits, sanitation falls to an Orange County franchise hauler with different yard-waste rules — confirm city vs. unincorporated through the Orange County Property Appraiser before relying on the City channel.
