City collection Furniture is the first example on the city's bulky item list, so a couch goes to the curb on the yard waste collection day rather than in the garbage cart. Furniture rides the weekly bulky collection that is part of the residential service, and the city publishes no separate furniture rate, so confirm any exception with Waste Management at 321-723-4455.
City collection The city's routine bulky list names furniture, bicycles and oversized items rather than bedding, so a mattress is expected to fit the bulky collection but the city does not list it by name. Melbourne publishes no mattress entry and no mattress rate, so confirm the piece with the ECO Division at 321-608-5080 or Waste Management at 321-723-4455 before it goes to the curb.
City collection Appliances are on the city's specialty bulky list, which names refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers and washers and requires all contents, liquids and doors to be removed. The specialty bulky pickup is part of the contracted residential service and the city publishes no appliance rate, so confirm the unit and any charge with the ECO Division at 321-608-5080 or Waste Management at 321-723-4455, which the city FAQ names for appliance pickups.
City collection Waste Management collects household waste twice a week and recycling once a week on Wednesday under the city franchise, with the green lid cart for garbage and the yellow lid cart for recycling. Collection is part of the residential service the city arranges and the household pays for, so no per pickup price is published. The published cart charges are $70 for an additional cart and $25 for a size swap through Waste Management at 321-723-4455.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Melbourne contracts its residential collection to Waste Management, and the curb does most of the work. Household waste is collected twice a week, recycling once a week on Wednesday, and bulky items go out once a week on the yard waste collection day, where the city's list covers furniture, bicycles and anything too large for the green trash cart. Appliances, electronics and tires are specialty items that need a call 48 hours ahead, and everything hazardous goes to a Brevard County collection center instead, including the household hazardous waste site at the Sarno Landfill on Sarno Road, which takes chemicals, paints, batteries and electronics free from county residents. Construction material is the exception, because Waste Management does not collect wood fencing or building material at the curb, so that load goes to the county landfill in Cocoa or into a Bagster or a rolloff container.
Waste Management collects household waste twice a week and recycling once a week on Wednesday under the city franchise, with the green lid cart for garbage and the yellow lid cart for recycling.
City cost & eligibility
Collection is part of the residential service the city arranges and the household pays for, so no per pickup price is published. The published cart charges are $70 for an additional cart and $25 for a size swap through Waste Management at 321-723-4455.
When & how
Use the address collection day, because garbage runs Tuesdays and Fridays north of Sarno Road and Mondays and Thursdays south of it, while recycling is collected citywide on Wednesday.
Get it ready
Put the carts out by 6 a.m. on the collection day and bring them in by 6 a.m. the next day, face the cart toward the street, keep it three feet from other carts, mailboxes, obstacles and storm drains, and store empty carts behind the front building line between collections.
Bulky items go curbside on the yard waste collection day, and the city defines them as furniture, bicycles and anything else too large to fit in the green garbage cart.
City cost & eligibility
The weekly bulky collection is part of the residential service the household pays for, and no separate price is published. Confirm any specialty item and any charge with Waste Management at 321-723-4455 or the city ECO Division at 321-608-5080.
When & how
Put the item out on the yard waste collection day for the address, and call 48 hours in advance when the item is a specialty bulky item such as an appliance, electronics or tires.
Get it ready
Keep bulky items three feet away from storm drains, yard waste, carts and any other obstruction, and keep them out of the garbage and recycling carts.
Furniture is the first example on the city's bulky item list, so a couch goes to the curb on the yard waste collection day rather than in the garbage cart.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture rides the weekly bulky collection that is part of the residential service, and the city publishes no separate furniture rate, so confirm any exception with Waste Management at 321-723-4455.
When & how
Set the piece out on the yard waste collection day for the address. Call the ECO Division or Waste Management 48 hours ahead if the piece is being booked as a specialty pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the couch out of the garbage and recycling carts and clear of storm drains and other obstacles, and leave it at the curb until the crew collects it.
The city's routine bulky list names furniture, bicycles and oversized items rather than bedding, so a mattress is expected to fit the bulky collection but the city does not list it by name.
City cost & eligibility
Melbourne publishes no mattress entry and no mattress rate, so confirm the piece with the ECO Division at 321-608-5080 or Waste Management at 321-723-4455 before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Once the item is confirmed, set it out on the yard waste collection day for the address and treat it as a bulky item rather than a cart item.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the garbage and recycling carts, keep it clear of storm drains and other obstacles, and confirm the item in advance because it is not on the published specialty list.
Appliances are on the city's specialty bulky list, which names refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers and washers and requires all contents, liquids and doors to be removed.
City cost & eligibility
The specialty bulky pickup is part of the contracted residential service and the city publishes no appliance rate, so confirm the unit and any charge with the ECO Division at 321-608-5080 or Waste Management at 321-723-4455, which the city FAQ names for appliance pickups.
When & how
Call at least 48 hours ahead to book the specialty pickup, then set the appliance at the curb as directed for the collection day.
Get it ready
Remove all contents and liquids and remove the door so a child cannot be trapped inside, and keep the unit out of the garbage cart and off the yard waste pile.
Electronics are a specialty bulky item and also a free drop-off at the Brevard County household hazardous waste and electronics centers, with all batteries removed first.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronic drop-off is free to Brevard County residents at the county household hazardous waste and electronic recycling centers, with proof of residency possibly required, and the drop-off is capped at 10 large electronics per household per year.
When & how
Take the devices to the Sarno Landfill household hazardous waste center at 3379 Sarno Road in Melbourne or the county center at 2250 Adamson Road in Cocoa, both open 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Saturday, or book a specialty bulky pickup at least 48 hours ahead.
Get it ready
Remove every battery before the item leaves the house and take the batteries to the household hazardous waste center, because city and county pages warn that batteries left in electronics can start a fire. Confirm the route for a CRT or rear projection television separately, because the county electronics list excludes those sets.
Waste Management does not collect wood fencing or construction material curbside. Minor home improvement debris can go in the green trash cart unless it is concrete, rock, brick or pressure-treated wood.
City cost & eligibility
The city lists four routes and publishes a price for none of them: a self haul to the Cocoa landfill at no charge to the resident, a Waste Management Bagster, a rolloff provider, or a Waste Management curbside collection for an additional charge. Confirm the route and the charge before the material leaves the property.
When & how
Use the route chosen for the project. Melbourne residents can take the wood to the Cocoa landfill on Adamson Road, and Waste Management curbside collection has to be requested separately.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, rock, brick and pressure-treated wood out of every cart because the Sarno Landfill does not accept them, and keep construction debris out of the yard waste pile and out of a bulky item request.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's specialty bulky list, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed even though the bulky definition covers items too large for the cart.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. Confirm the item and any charge with the ECO Division at 321-608-5080 or Waste Management at 321-723-4455 before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Call to confirm the machine, then set it out on the yard waste collection day for the address if it is accepted as a bulky item.
Get it ready
Keep the frame out of the garbage cart, take off any console or battery pack so the electronics can go on their own route, and describe the size when calling so the crew knows what to expect.
Face the cart toward the street so the arm can reach it, put it out by 6 a.m. on the collection day and bring it in by 6 a.m. the next day, and leave three feet between the cart and other carts, mailboxes, obstacles and storm drains. Empty carts are stored behind the front building line between collections instead of at the curb, and the garbage cart takes garbage only while the yellow lid cart takes recycling only.
Bulky items go out on the yard waste collection day, three feet away from storm drains, yard waste, carts and other obstructions, and they never go inside the garbage or recycling cart. Appliances need the contents, liquids and the door removed, electronics need every battery taken out first, and tires are limited to four standard vehicle tires per household per year. Call the ECO Division at 321-608-5080 or Waste Management at 321-723-4455 at least 48 hours ahead for a specialty item.
Keep products in their original labeled containers, never mix chemicals together, put leaking containers inside a clear plastic bag, pack the load in sturdy boxes cushioned with newspaper, and carry it in the trunk or the back of the vehicle away from passengers. Liquids are capped at 25 gallons per household per year, no container larger than five gallons is accepted, and the county centers take household material only, so business waste has to use the county's appointment program.
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.

Put the item out on the yard waste collection day
A Melbourne household with furniture, a bicycle, a mattress or another item too large for the green garbage cart.

Arrange it
Call at least 48 hours before the collection day to schedule the pickup, or book it through the Waste Management bulk trash page that the city links.

Take wood and construction material to the Cocoa landfill
A Melbourne household with fencing, lumber, plywood, pallets or other material from a building, fence, dock or shed project.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city states that Melbourne residents can dispose of the wood themselves at the Cocoa landfill at no charge.
Arrange it
Take the material to the Brevard County Central Disposal Facility at 2250 Adamson Road in Cocoa, open 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Saturday, or arrange a Waste Management Bagster, a rolloff provider or a booked curbside collection instead.
This is the route for wood and construction material rather than for concrete, rock, brick or pressure-treated wood, which the Sarno Landfill refuses, and a booked Waste Management curbside collection carries an extra charge the city does not publish.
Melbourne runs collection through a city franchise held by Waste Management, and the city ECO Division at 321-608-5080 is the number for questions. Household waste is collected twice a week, recycling once a week on Wednesday, and bulky items once a week on the yard waste collection day, where the city takes furniture, bicycles and anything too large for the green cart, and where appliances, electronics and tires are specialty items that need a call at least 48 hours ahead. Everything hazardous goes to Brevard County instead: the household hazardous waste center at the Sarno Landfill on Sarno Road in Melbourne takes paints, automotive fluids, garden chemicals, batteries, fluorescent lamps and electronics free from county residents, and there is a second county center in Cocoa. Construction material is the one load the hauler will not take curbside, so it goes to the Cocoa landfill at no charge to residents, into a Waste Management Bagster, or to a rolloff or a booked curbside collection.
