From $10 per cubic yard of bulky waste beyond the two cubic yard weekly allowance, billed on the utility account. City of Fort Pierce residential customers, with the first two cubic yards each week carrying no separate charge.
City collection Mattresses are named in the city's bulky waste examples, so a mattress or box spring goes out with the weekly bulky pile rather than needing a special pickup.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fort Pierce runs its own collection crew, and bulky material still goes to the curb. A household may set out up to two cubic yards of bulky waste a week, naming furniture, stoves, mattresses, wood and swing sets, and up to four cubic yards of yard waste in the black yard waste cart and stacked brush. Volume past those limits is charged by the cubic yard on the utility bill rather than refused. What the city will not touch is a different list: construction and remodeling debris, automobile parts and contractor material all go to the St. Lucie County facility on Glades Cut-Off Road, which is also where tires, scrap metal and white goods are taken.
Bulky waste is household material too large for the trash cart with the lid closed. A residence may set out up to two cubic yards a week, and volume past that is charged rather than refused.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per cubic yard of bulky waste beyond the two cubic yard weekly allowance, billed on the utility account. City of Fort Pierce residential customers. The first two cubic yards each week carry no separate charge, and any volume above it is billed and collected by Fort Pierce Utilities Authority.
When & how
Weekly on the neighbourhood collection day from the city service map, with the pile at the curb before the crew arrives.
Get it ready
Stack the pile neatly and keep it within the weekly allowance, because a nonconforming pile is subject to a fee. Leave eighteen feet of clearance for the truck, so nothing goes under low trees or wires. Put glass, mirrors and glass tabletops in a rigid container, roll and tie rugs and carpet, remove the doors from any appliance before it goes out, and keep hazardous material out of the pile, since crews will not move it to reach acceptable items. The city's unacceptable list also keeps contractor generated material, construction, remodeling and demolition debris including concrete, brick, tile, rock, dirt, sand and soil, automobile bodies and parts with their engines, transmissions and batteries, and horticultural material from commercial lawn and yard services out of the pile. Construction, remodeling and demolition debris is refused by name, including concrete, brick, tile, rock, dirt, sand and soil; automobile bodies and parts, engines, transmissions and batteries are refused; and horticultural material from a commercial lawn or yard service is refused.
Discarded furniture is named in the city's own bulky waste examples, so a couch or table goes out with the weekly bulky pile inside the two cubic yard allowance.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per cubic yard of bulky waste beyond the two cubic yard weekly allowance, billed on the utility account. City of Fort Pierce residential customers, with the first two cubic yards each week carrying no separate charge.
When & how
Weekly on the neighbourhood collection day, with the pile out for the crew.
Get it ready
Keep the piece in the bulky pile rather than in or beside the cart, because the trash cart lid has to close and extra material on the ground is held for the bulky day. Leave the pile where the truck has eighteen feet of clearance, and remove the doors from any appliance in the same pile.
Mattresses are named in the city's bulky waste examples, so a mattress or box spring goes out with the weekly bulky pile rather than needing a special pickup.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per cubic yard of bulky waste beyond the two cubic yard weekly allowance, billed on the utility account. City of Fort Pierce residential customers, with the two cubic yard weekly allowance included before the volume charge applies.
When & how
Weekly on the neighbourhood collection day from the service map.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and inside until the collection day, stack it neatly in the bulky pile, and leave the pile clear of low branches and wires. A mattress still in good condition is worth offering for reuse before it is treated as waste, because the city route sends it to disposal.
Household appliances are named in the bulky waste examples, and the county takes white goods as a separate load for a small per load charge.
City cost & eligibility
The city includes appliances in the bulky allowance with no separate charge published, while the county charges a flat rate per load for scrap metal and white goods, so confirm which route to use with the city division on 772-467-3794 or the county on 772-462-1768.
When & how
Weekly with the bulky pile on the neighbourhood collection day, or a self haul trip to the county facility during its open hours.
Get it ready

City cost & eligibility

City cost & eligibility
From $5 each tire up to a twenty inch rim for the first five tires in a load, with larger counts and larger rims charged by the ton.

When & how
Take the tires to 6120 Glades Cut-Off Road in Fort Pierce, open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., with hand unloaders on the scale by 4:15 p.m. on a weekday and by 12:15 p.m. on Saturday.
Get it ready
Count and sort the tires by rim size before the trip so the scale can price the load, and keep them out of both the trash cart and the yard waste pile. Confirm with the city division first if the household was expecting the bulky crew to take them.

When & how

Set the lid arrows toward the street and the handle toward the house, close the lid, bag small debris so it does not scatter, and never stack anything on top. Extra bags left on the ground are not collected on the regular run, so hold them for the bulky collection day.
Automated collection needs room. Put the cart out the night before or by 7 a.m., keep it at least five feet from other carts, bulk items, mailboxes, trees, poles and cars, and place it within two feet of the curb with the lid arrows toward the street and the handle toward the house. Bag small debris, close the lid and leave nothing on top.
Two cubic yards of bulk, stacked and clear of wires

Remove the doors from any appliance, roll and tie carpet and rugs, and put glass and mirrors in a rigid container.
Four cubic yards of yard waste in the black cart and stacked brush
Leaves, twigs and grass clippings go in the city issued black yard waste cart, and brush and limbs are stacked neatly beside it at no more than fifty pounds per item, roughly a six by four by four foot pile. Cut branches over six inches in diameter into six foot lengths, keep treated wood and construction material out, and expect the volume above four cubic yards to be billed by the cubic yard.

What has to happen before a Fort Pierce appliance goes out?+
