City collection Furniture heads the city's free special pickup list, which covers furniture, carpet and appliances together up to three cubic yards. The pickup is arranged rather than automatic, and items go where the trash is normally collected. No charge. Free special pickup for city sanitation customers, with furniture, carpet and appliances counted together against a three cubic yard maximum. Material outside that list is charged 25 dollars and 65 cents per cubic yard.
City collection A mattress is not named on the city's free special pickup list, which names furniture, carpet and appliances, so it has to be confirmed. Depending on the answer it either rides the three cubic yard furniture allowance or is collected as material outside the list at the per cubic yard rate. The city publishes no mattress entry. Confirm with the Sanitation Department at 727-893-7398 whether a mattress counts within the three cubic yard furniture allowance or is charged as material outside the free list at 25 dollars and 65 cents per cubic yard, and ask for the estimate before the pickup.
City collection Appliances are named on the city's free special pickup list inside the three cubic yard furniture allowance, and the city brush sites also accept appliances. Pinellas County's household hazardous waste centre separately takes appliances that plug into the wall. No charge. Free special pickup for city sanitation customers, with appliances counted with furniture and carpet against a three cubic yard maximum. The brush sites accept appliances from properties that pay an active sanitation collection charge, and the county household hazardous waste programme takes plug-in appliances free from county households.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
St. Petersburg collects residential trash itself, from the alley or the curb depending on the address, and handles large items through a special pickup rather than a bulky week. The city publishes a free list with item maximums: car batteries and car tires up to five each, two doors, two empty 20 pound propane tanks, two kitchen cabinets, two windows, and furniture, carpet and appliances up to three cubic yards. Anything outside that list, from building materials to brush to a large accumulation, is collected for 25 dollars and 65 cents per cubic yard after the sanitation department gives an estimate. Electronic waste takes two routes: the collection schedule page tells residents they can arrange free special pickup of televisions and computer equipment, and Pinellas County's household hazardous waste centre at 2855 109th Avenue North takes monitors, televisions, printers and plug-in appliances free from county households. Yard waste and metals can go to any of five city brush sites instead, seven days a week, with proof of residency.
Furniture heads the city's free special pickup list, which covers furniture, carpet and appliances together up to three cubic yards. The pickup is arranged rather than automatic, and items go where the trash is normally collected.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free special pickup for city sanitation customers, with furniture, carpet and appliances counted together against a three cubic yard maximum. Material outside that list is charged 25 dollars and 65 cents per cubic yard.
When & how
Submit a special pickup request in SeeClickFix, including a photo of the items, or call the Sanitation Department at 727-893-7398, and put the items out where the address normally sets out its trash.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the three cubic yard allowance and place it in the alley if the address is an alley collection address, or on the curb if the address is a curbside collection address, because placement follows the normal trash point.
A mattress is not named on the city's free special pickup list, which names furniture, carpet and appliances, so it has to be confirmed. Depending on the answer it either rides the three cubic yard furniture allowance or is collected as material outside the list at the per cubic yard rate.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress entry. Confirm with the Sanitation Department at 727-893-7398 whether a mattress counts within the three cubic yard furniture allowance or is charged as material outside the free list at 25 dollars and 65 cents per cubic yard, and ask for the estimate before the pickup.
When & how
Call 727-893-7398 or submit the SeeClickFix request, confirm the classification and any fee, then set the mattress out where the address normally places its trash.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the alley or curb before the pickup is arranged, keep it dry, and do not take it to a brush site, because those sites take yard waste, metals, appliances and cement roofing tiles rather than bedding.
Appliances are named on the city's free special pickup list inside the three cubic yard furniture allowance, and the city brush sites also accept appliances. Pinellas County's household hazardous waste centre separately takes appliances that plug into the wall.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free special pickup for city sanitation customers, with appliances counted with furniture and carpet against a three cubic yard maximum. The brush sites accept appliances from properties that pay an active sanitation collection charge, and the county household hazardous waste programme takes plug-in appliances free from county households.
When & how
Request the pickup in SeeClickFix or by phone at 727-893-7398, or take the appliance to a city brush site open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week with identification and an active sanitation account.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the weekly trash container, and remember that if it stays plugged into a wall for power the county hazardous waste centre also accepts it, which is useful for a small appliance the pickup allowance would otherwise absorb.
Electronic waste is covered by two published routes. The city's collection schedule page states that residents may arrange free special pickup of televisions, furniture or computer equipment, while the county household hazardous waste centre takes monitors, televisions, printers and other plug-in electronics free from county households. The special pickup page's own free list does not name electronics, so the route is worth confirming.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free on the city special pickup route as described on the collection schedule page, and free at Pinellas County's household hazardous waste collection centres for county households. The special pickup page's itemized free list names furniture, carpet and appliances without electronics, so confirm which applies when the request is placed.
When & how
Call the Sanitation Department at 727-893-7398 to arrange the free special pickup of a television or computer, or take the device to the county HHW Center at 2855 109th Avenue N on one of its published operating days from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., or to HHW North in Clearwater on a select Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep electronics out of the trash container, and keep rechargeable batteries with the chemical route, because the county accepts nickel metal hydride, nickel cadmium, small sealed lead acid, lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries with published limits.
Building materials are named among the items outside the city's free special pickup list, so a renovation load is collected at a published per cubic yard rate rather than refused. The brush sites separately refuse deposits from construction sites.
City cost & eligibility
From $25.65 per cubic yard for special pickup items outside the free list, which the city names as including building materials, large quantities of accumulated waste and brush. City sanitation customers who request the pickup and confirm the estimate. The Sanitation Department provides an estimate based on quantity for material that is not collected free.
When & how
Request the special pickup in SeeClickFix or at 727-893-7398, ask for the estimate for the cubic yardage, confirm the fee, and then set the load out where the address normally places its trash.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the weekly container and out of the brush sites, because deposits from construction sites are prohibited there unless accompanied by the utility bill holder with identification or a signed consent form supplied each day.
Exercise equipment is not named on the free special pickup list or in the brush site material list, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the Sanitation Department.
City cost & eligibility
No published entry covers an exercise machine. Confirm with the Sanitation Department at 727-893-7398 whether the machine is collected free inside the three cubic yard furniture allowance or charged as material outside the list at 25 dollars and 65 cents per cubic yard.
When & how
Call before setting anything out, then place the machine where the address normally sets out its trash once the pickup is arranged.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when calling, take the console or battery pack off so any electronics can go to the county centre or the free television and computer pickup route, and keep the frame out of the weekly container.
St. Petersburg handles oversized household items with a special pickup rather than a bulky week. The free list carries item maximums, and material outside it is collected at a published per cubic yard rate with an estimate first.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free special pickup for city sanitation customers within the published list: car batteries up to five, car tires up to five, doors up to two, empty 20 pound propane tanks up to two, furniture, carpet and appliances up to three cubic yards, kitchen cabinets up to two and windows up to two. Items outside the list are charged 25 dollars and 65 cents per cubic yard.
When & how
Submit the request in SeeClickFix with a photo of the items or call 727-893-7398, confirm whether the items are collected free or need an estimate, and place them where the address normally sets out its trash.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the item maximums and out of the street before the pickup is arranged, and remember that regular trash and yard waste belong in the designated container rather than loose on the curb or in the alley.
Yard waste has a free drop-off route rather than only a pickup: five city brush sites accept grass clippings, brush, cuttings, trimmings, yard waste and mulch pick-up, and they also take mixed metals, appliances and cement roofing tiles.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the five city brush sites for properties that pay an active sanitation collection charge to the city, with proof of residency shown at the entrance. Loose yard waste placed out for a special pickup instead falls outside the free list and is charged per cubic yard.
When & how
Take the material to any city brush site, all open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week and closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day: 1000 62nd Ave NE, 7750 26th Ave N, 2500 26th Ave S, 4015 Dr. Martin Luther King St S and 2453 20th Ave N.
Get it ready
Keep plastics, metal and lumber out of a yard waste load, keep large limbs and logs under five feet long, and note that logs are accepted only at 2500 26th Ave S with nothing over 300 pounds, 34 inches in diameter or 60 inches in length. A contractor load needs the utility bill holder present or a signed consent form supplied each day.
Free within the list, priced by the cubic yard outside it
The special pickup programme has a published free list with item maximums, and everything else is collected for a fee. Free: car batteries up to five, car tires up to five, doors up to two, empty 20 pound propane tanks up to two, furniture, carpet and appliances up to three cubic yards, kitchen cabinets up to two and windows up to two. Outside the list, the city charges 25 dollars and 65 cents per cubic yard for building materials, brush and large accumulations, and the Sanitation Department provides an estimate based on quantity so the fee can be confirmed first.
A special pickup is arranged, not automatic. Submit the request in SeeClickFix and include a photo of the items to help expedite it, or call the Sanitation Department at 727-893-7398. Free items are scheduled by the department, anything outside the free list gets an estimate, and the resident confirms the fee before the pickup. Items go where the address normally sets out its trash: in the alley for an alley collection address, or on the curb for a curbside address. Regular trash and yard waste belong in the designated container rather than loose on the curb or in the alley.
Yard waste and chemicals have their own free routes
Yard material does not need a pickup. Five city brush sites open at 9 a.m. and close at 5:30 p.m. seven days a week, closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, and they take grass clippings, brush, cuttings, trimmings, yard waste, mixed metals, appliances and cement roofing tiles from properties that pay an active sanitation charge, with proof of residency at the entrance. Household chemicals go the other way, to Pinellas County's household hazardous waste centres, which take paint, automotive fluids, batteries, bulbs, mercury devices, pool and spa products and other chemicals free from county households within published limits, and where the HHW Center at 2855 109th Avenue North also takes electronics and plug-in appliances.
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.
