The clear-out can be finished.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Large items such as couches, sectionals, mattresses and household furniture go at the kerb next to the regular garbage, and bulky waste is the one exception to the rule against loose material.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no bulky item fee and simply directs residents to place large items at the kerb next to the regular garbage, while the transfer station fee table covers only the listed materials, so confirm any charge with the Solid Waste Division on (904) 827-6980 before a heavy cleanout.
When & how
Put the bulky items at the kerb next to the regular garbage on the collection day, with everything out by 6 am and separated from recycling and yard debris, or take them to a transfer station during its published hours.
Get it ready
Keep each item liftable and out of the garbage container, because non-containerised garbage other than bulky waste is not collected and no can or bag may exceed 50 lbs. Keep tires, construction and demolition debris and household hazardous waste out of the kerb pile because special waste is not collected curbside, and avoid placing anything in front of a vacant lot, land or other property because it will not be collected.
Transfer station drops for bulky, white goods and special items
Accepted with preparation
Both county transfer stations take household garbage, white goods, hazardous waste, obsolete electronics and flattened cardboard, with a fee table for tires, treated wood, mixed loads, construction debris and paint.
City cost & eligibility
From $2.75 per tire when ten or fewer are brought in, with $210.00 per ton for ten or more tires, $67.26 per ton for commercial loads, pressure treated wood or mixed loads of garbage with construction and demolition debris, $0.75 each for fluorescent bulbs 2 to 4 feet and $1.00 each for 6 to 8 feet, $2.00 per gallon for latex paint and $4.00 per gallon for oil-based paint. St. Johns County residents with proof of residence such as a driver's licence showing a current county address; fees are paid by cash or cheque only, and household hazardous waste, obsolete electronics, white goods and flattened cardboard are taken without a listed fee.
When & how
Take the load to the Tillman Ridge Transfer Station at 3005 Allen Nease Rd in Elkton or the Stratton Road Transfer Station at 250 North Stratton Rd in St. Augustine, open Monday to Friday 7 am to 6 pm and Saturday 7 am to 1 pm.
Get it ready
Bring a driver's licence or other proof of a current St. Johns County address, separate flattened cardboard for the drop-off centre because no other recyclables are accepted there, transport fuel in an approved container that may have to be left on site, and keep lithium-ion batteries out of the garbage and recycling carts because they can start fires and belong at a retail or county drop-off point instead.
St. Johns County runs a single residential curbside programme, and FCC Environmental Services has been the sole provider since August 1, 2024. The assessment on the property tax bill pays for once-per-week garbage, recycling and yard waste collection, and the hauler does not supply garbage containers, so the property owner buys them and asks the county on 904-827-6980 for a recycling cart. Garbage, recycling and yard debris have to be separated by the resident and placed curbside by 6 am on the collection day, within 3 to 5 feet of the edge of the travelled roadway, with household garbage in cans or secured plastic bags so animals and wind cannot scatter it. No collections run on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day or New Year's Day.
The kerb has hard limits, but bulky waste is the exception
Nothing in a can or plastic bag may weigh more than 50 lbs, non-containerised garbage is not collected except for bulky waste, and anything left in front of a vacant lot, land or other property is skipped. Tires, construction and demolition debris and household hazardous waste are on the special waste list and never come off the kerb. What does come off the kerb is the bulky pile: couches, sectionals, mattresses and household furniture go at the kerb next to the regular garbage, and an appliance is recycled curbside only after the household schedules the collection with the Solid Waste Division on (904) 827-6980 or SolidWaste@sjcfl.us, which is the same contact for a recycling cart.
Yard waste has size rules and the transfer stations take the rest
Yard waste goes out on the standard collection day with branches, shrubs and stumps no longer than 6 feet and no heavier than 50 lbs stacked neatly, and leaves, grass clippings, twigs and small pieces bagged, bundled or in a receptacle no larger than 32 gallons and 50 lbs. Anything that has to be pulled apart is not collected, and whole trees, land clearing debris, fencing, landscape timbers, garden hoses, planters, flower pots and yard decorations are not yard waste at all. For everything the kerb will not take there are two transfer stations, Tillman Ridge at 3005 Allen Nease Rd in Elkton and Stratton Road at 250 North Stratton Rd in St. Augustine, open Monday to Friday 7 am to 6 pm and Saturday 7 am to 1 pm, where residents with proof of a current county address can bring household garbage, white goods, hazardous waste, obsolete electronics and flattened cardboard, and pay the published fees in cash or by cheque for tires, pressure treated wood, mixed loads, construction debris and paint.
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.

St. Johns County Solid Waste Division with FCC Environmental Services
Put bulky items out with the regular garbage
A household with a couch, sectional, mattress or household furniture that cannot go in a container.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes no bulky item fee and simply directs residents to place large items at the kerb next to the regular garbage, so confirm any charge on (904) 827-6980 before a large cleanout.
Arrange it
Put the items at the kerb next to the regular garbage on the collection day, out by 6 am and separated from recycling and yard debris.
No can or bag over 50 lbs, nothing in front of a vacant lot or another property, and no tires, construction and demolition debris or hazardous waste, because special waste is not collected curbside.
A household holding lithium-ion batteries that must not go in the garbage or the recycling cart.
Cost & conditions
The county directs residents to drop old lithium batteries at retailers such as Home Depot, Staples or Lowe's or at a county drop-off centre but publishes no fee for either, so confirm the store's current policy before handing batteries over.
Arrange it
Take the batteries to a participating retailer such as Home Depot, Staples or Lowe's, or to a county drop-off centre, rather than putting them in the garbage or recycling cart.
A retail goodwill programme rather than a county service, with store policies that can change, and damaged or swollen lithium cells should be handled with care because they can ignite.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in St Johns.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in St Johns?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
What counts as a St. Johns County large item?+
The county lists couches, sectionals, mattresses and household furniture among the large bulky items that go at the kerb next to the regular garbage. Bulky waste is the exception to the rule that non-containerised garbage will not be collected, so a sofa can sit beside the cans, while tires, construction and demolition debris and household hazardous waste are refused at the kerb. Put everything out by 6 am on the collection day, separated from recycling and yard debris, and confirm any charge with the Solid Waste Division on (904) 827-6980 before a large cleanout.Official guidance
Can St. Johns County residents use the transfer stations?+
Yes. Residents with proof of residence, such as a driver's licence showing a current St. Johns County address, may bring items to either the Tillman Ridge Transfer Station at 3005 Allen Nease Rd in Elkton or the Stratton Road Transfer Station at 250 North Stratton Rd in St. Augustine, both open Monday to Friday 7 am to 6 pm and Saturday 7 am to 1 pm and closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.

Who collects St. Johns County garbage and recycling?+

The assessment on the property tax bill pays for once-per-week garbage, recycling and yard waste collection; the hauler does not provide garbage containers, so owners buy their own and request a recycling cart from the county. Garbage, recycling and yard debris go out separated and curbside by 6 am, with household garbage in cans or secured bags.Official guidance
How do St. Johns County appliances leave the house?+
By appointment with the county rather than by leaving the unit at the kerb.

White goods are also accepted at either transfer station, Tillman Ridge in Elkton or Stratton Road in St. Augustine, and the county publishes no curbside appliance fee, so confirm any charge when booking.Official guidance
What can go at the kerb in St. Johns County?+
Large bulky items such as couches, sectionals, mattresses and household furniture go at the kerb next to the regular garbage, and bulky waste is the exception to the rule that non-containerised garbage is not collected. Yard waste goes out with the same collection when branches, shrubs and stumps are no longer than 6 feet and no heavier than 50 lbs and stacked neatly, and leaves, grass clippings, twigs and small pieces are bagged, bundled or in a receptacle no larger than 32 gallons and 50 lbs. No can or bag may exceed 50 lbs, and tires, construction and demolition debris and household hazardous waste are never collected curbside.Official guidance
What does the St. Johns County transfer station charge?+
