Four bulk yard waste or bulk junk collections a calendar year are free, up to 20 cubic yards each, and they are arranged by phone or email.
City cost & eligibility
From $13.81 for the charge per cubic yard for a bulk yard waste or bulk junk collection beyond the four free collections in a calendar year. Customers are provided four free yard waste or bulk junk collections a calendar year, up to 20 cubic yards each, with the year running from January 1 to December 31. A collection beyond the four is charged 13.81 per cubic yard with a 30.66 minimum.
When & how
Email customer service at solidwastemanagement@lakelandgov.net with the address and the type of material at the curb, or call 863-834-8773 to arrange the collection.
Get it ready
Bulk yard waste is plant material too large to be containerized, or a pile bigger than six feet by four feet, and no item may be longer than eight feet. Furniture, mattresses, box springs, bed frames, couches, chairs and other household items may go to the curb, and appliances go out on a separate special truck for recycling.
Refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters, washers, dryers and small appliances are collected by a special bulk truck for recycling.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliance collection is part of the bulk service, with items handled by a special bulk truck for recycling, and the city publishes no separate appliance charge. Items must be curbside before the pickup.
When & how
Arrange the collection by email or at 863-834-8773, and have the appliance at the curb before the truck arrives.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, remove or secure the doors so nothing can be trapped inside, and keep refrigerant units upright and out of the garbage cart, because the special truck recycles them rather than dumping them with household waste.
Bulk junk and bulk yard waste are scheduled by emailing customer service with the address and the type of material or by calling 863-834-8773, and the four free collections a calendar year cover up to 20 cubic yards each. Furniture, mattresses, box springs, bed frames, couches, chairs, tree limbs and construction debris with the nails bent over go out together, while appliances wait for the special recycling truck and must be curbside before the pickup.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lakeland.
How much does appliance removal cost in Lakeland?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Lakeland?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
