City collection Sofas, tables and chairs are named on the city's bulk item list, so furniture is collected at the curb once a week on the bulk day inside the three item limit, with a booked special pickup for a larger set. Furniture is part of the weekly bulk service, which carries no separately published rate, and the city charges only through the special pickup it arranges when a set exceeds three items. Because that charge is quoted by the office, the cost of a larger furniture set is confirmed with customer service before the pieces go out.
City collection Mattresses and box springs are named on the city's bulk item list, so a mattress or box spring goes out at the curb as a bulk item on the weekly bulk day and counts toward the three item limit. A mattress travels with the weekly bulk service, which has no separately published rate, and the only charge the city mentions is the fee for a special pickup when a set exceeds three items. Because that fee is quoted by the office, the cost for a larger set is confirmed with customer service first.
City collection Large and small appliances are named on the bulk list, and the white goods list is printed item by item: stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, hot water heater and toaster. Two handling rules apply, doors off every large appliance and every glass door taped diagonally corner to corner, and a Freon unit goes out only on the vegetation day. Appliances ride the weekly bulk service, which carries no separately published rate, and the city charges a quoted fee only for a special pickup beyond three items. A Freon unit has its own timing rule rather than its own published price, so the office confirms the arrangement and any charge before the unit is placed out.
City collection The city runs residential household garbage collection and the yard waste and bulk services, with pickups scheduled Monday through Saturday and an interactive schedule for each address. Recycling is arranged differently: the bins come from the county Solid Waste Authority and the collection is run by Waste Pro, which the city publishes with its own number. The city publishes no residential collection rate of its own, and the recycling service is provided through the county authority and Waste Pro rather than the city, so the cost of a household's service is confirmed with the Solid Waste office on the city number and with the authority or Waste Pro for the recycling bin side.
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?
West Palm Beach collects for itself, and its bulky route is unusually generous: single family homes put out up to three bulk items a week on their bulk day, and the city names the categories, so tables and chairs, sofas, gym equipment, mattresses and box springs, large and small appliances, and the electronics group of computers, laptops, monitors, printers, televisions, telephones, microwaves and game systems all travel the same truck. More than three items needs a scheduled special pickup priced by the office. Appliances come with two printed handling rules, doors off every large unit and glass doors taped diagonally, and a Freon unit such as a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner goes out only on the vegetation day, placed next to the vegetation pile and never mixed with it. Yard waste has its own pile rules, one pile of up to ten cubic yards with branches cut to four feet and stumps to a foot across, plus an annual vegetation amnesty before hurricane season that lifts the size limit. Construction material is not part of regular service at all, hazardous material is never collected, and both the city office and the county authority have their own lines for the streams they will not take.
The city runs residential household garbage collection and the yard waste and bulk services, with pickups scheduled Monday through Saturday and an interactive schedule for each address. Recycling is arranged differently: the bins come from the county Solid Waste Authority and the collection is run by Waste Pro, which the city publishes with its own number.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no residential collection rate of its own, and the recycling service is provided through the county authority and Waste Pro rather than the city, so the cost of a household's service is confirmed with the Solid Waste office on the city number and with the authority or Waste Pro for the recycling bin side.
When & how
Pickups are scheduled Monday through Saturday, and the city publishes an interactive pickup schedule for trash, recycling and bulk or yard waste days. A pickup that falls on a holiday follows the city's separate holiday trash schedule, and a missed collection is reported to customer service on the Solid Waste office number.
Get it ready
Keep household garbage in the garbage can, because the bulk route refuses miscellaneous garbage that belongs there and the yard waste route refuses anything mixed with vegetation. Set bulk and vegetation out so they do not interfere with the garbage, recycling or yard waste collection, and check the pickup schedule for the address before setting anything out.
Single family homes get a weekly bulk collection with up to three items at the curb per bulk day, and the city names what counts: tables and chairs, gym equipment, household items, mattresses and box springs, large child's toys, barbecue grills, sofas and large or small appliances. More than three items needs a special pickup that is scheduled and charged.
City cost & eligibility
No separate rate is published for the three item weekly bulk service, and the city states only that a set of more than three items requires a special pickup for a fee arranged through customer service or the public works email. Because the charge is quoted by the office and the service is part of the household's paid collection, the cost for a particular set is confirmed before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Bulk items are collected once a week on the household's bulk day, which the interactive pickup schedule publishes, with the set out so it does not interfere with the garbage, recycling or yard waste collection. A set of more than three items is arranged in advance by email or telephone.
Get it ready
Keep to three items unless a special pickup has been booked, and keep everything else off the pile: miscellaneous garbage belongs in the garbage can, and building materials, commercially generated waste, propane or water tanks and drums, vehicle equipment, wood fencing, decks and concrete are all refused. Construction material is never part of the regular bulk service, and hazardous material is never collected at all.
Sofas, tables and chairs are named on the city's bulk item list, so furniture is collected at the curb once a week on the bulk day inside the three item limit, with a booked special pickup for a larger set.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture is part of the weekly bulk service, which carries no separately published rate, and the city charges only through the special pickup it arranges when a set exceeds three items. Because that charge is quoted by the office, the cost of a larger furniture set is confirmed with customer service before the pieces go out.
When & how
Put the furniture out on the household's bulk day, which the interactive pickup schedule publishes, once a week. A set of more than three items is arranged in advance by email or telephone.
Get it ready
Keep the set to three items and place it so it does not interfere with the garbage, recycling or yard waste collection. Take the pieces down far enough to be handled, keep mirror glass and construction material out of the pile because building materials are refused, and remember that commercially generated waste is not collected.
Mattresses and box springs are named on the city's bulk item list, so a mattress or box spring goes out at the curb as a bulk item on the weekly bulk day and counts toward the three item limit.
City cost & eligibility
A mattress travels with the weekly bulk service, which has no separately published rate, and the only charge the city mentions is the fee for a special pickup when a set exceeds three items. Because that fee is quoted by the office, the cost for a larger set is confirmed with customer service first.
When & how
Set the mattress out on the household's bulk day, which the interactive pickup schedule publishes. If it joins a set of more than three items, book the special pickup before the bulk day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the vegetation pile, because yard waste may not be mixed with any other items and the bulk and yard waste trucks run separately. Keep it clear of the garbage and recycling containers so the route is not blocked.
Large and small appliances are named on the bulk list, and the white goods list is printed item by item: stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, hot water heater and toaster. Two handling rules apply, doors off every large appliance and every glass door taped diagonally corner to corner, and a Freon unit goes out only on the vegetation day.
City cost & eligibility
Appliances ride the weekly bulk service, which carries no separately published rate, and the city charges a quoted fee only for a special pickup beyond three items. A Freon unit has its own timing rule rather than its own published price, so the office confirms the arrangement and any charge before the unit is placed out.
When & how
Most appliances go out on the household's weekly bulk day. A Freon-containing unit such as a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is the exception: it goes out on the same day the household receives vegetation waste collection, placed next to the vegetation pile.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from every large appliance and tape all glass doors diagonally from corner to corner. Never mix a Freon unit into the vegetation itself, because the city states that these units are the only items to be placed next to the vegetation pile and that no vegetation is to be mixed with bulk items.
West Palm Beach collects electronics at the curb as e-scrap inside the bulk service. The printed list covers computers, laptops, monitors, printer, scanner and fax machines, gaming systems, televisions, all telephones, VCR and DVD players and microwaves, so a television or computer does not need a separate county trip.
City cost & eligibility
Electronics travel with the weekly bulk service, which has no separately published rate, and the only published charge is the quoted special pickup fee when a household puts out more than three items. Because the boundary between a device and an item matters here, the office confirms how a set of devices is counted before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Set the equipment out on the household's weekly bulk day with the rest of the bulk set, inside the three item limit or with a special pickup booked in advance. A county Home Chemical and Recycling Center also accepts electronics, which avoids waiting for the bulk day. Do not mix electronics into the yard waste pile.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer, laptop, phone or game system leaves the house. Keep the devices out of the garbage can, because the bulk route refuses miscellaneous garbage that belongs there, and keep them away from the vegetation pile, because yard waste may not be mixed with any other items.
Construction material is not part of regular sanitation service in West Palm Beach. The city can collect it only on request at an additional fee, and material generated by a contractor or by a do it yourself project has to be taken to the county authority's landfill or a permitted facility by whoever generated it.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that it will pick construction material up at an additional fee on request without publishing the amount, and it also routes contractor and do it yourself construction material to the county authority's landfill or a permitted facility at that site's tipping terms. The fee is therefore confirmed with the Solid Waste office and the receiving site before the material is moved.
When & how
Request a construction collection from the Solid Waste office if the city is to take it, and expect a charge; otherwise deliver the material to the county authority's landfill or a permitted facility during its operating hours, after confirming the terms on the authority line.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the regular bulk pile and the garbage can, because it is not collected as part of regular service and is not accepted on the bulk day. Separate it by material, since the city notes that landfill rules treat construction material as contamination and charge more for it, and remember that a contractor has to dispose of the material it generates.
Gym equipment is named on the city's bulk item list, so a treadmill or weight machine is a bulk item in West Palm Beach, collected at the curb on the weekly bulk day and counted inside the three item limit.
City cost & eligibility
Gym equipment travels with the weekly bulk service, which has no separately published rate, and the city charges through the special pickup it arranges when a household puts out more than three items. Because a machine is bulky and may be counted as more than one item, the office confirms the arrangement before it goes out.
When & how
Set the machine out on the household's weekly bulk day, inside the three item limit, or book the special pickup first if the set is larger. Keep it out of the yard waste pile and away from the garbage and recycling containers.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will go and keep loose weights together with the frame so the crew can handle it. Do not add it to the vegetation pile, and keep it clear of anything the bulk route refuses, such as building material or commercially generated waste.
Residential vegetation goes out in one pile of up to ten cubic yards, with leaves, grass and clippings bagged, branches cut to four feet and six inches across and stumps no wider than twelve inches. A pile over ten cubic yards is a violation subject to a fee, and once a year the city lifts the size limit entirely during the vegetation amnesty before hurricane season.
City cost & eligibility
$350 for up to the published assessment a property owner may face when a contractor leaves yard waste for the city to collect. Residential vegetation inside the pile limits carries no separate charge, and the annual vegetation amnesty lifts the ten cubic yard limit at no charge. A pile over ten cubic yards outside amnesty is a violation subject to a fee arranged on the Solid Waste office number, and when a contractor fails to remove its own yard waste the property owner may be assessed up to the published amount.
When & how
Set the pile out the day before the household's scheduled yard waste pickup, and during the annual vegetation amnesty, which falls in a set number of days usually in April or May before hurricane season, larger piles are collected on the regular yard waste day at no charge.
Get it ready
Bag leaves, grass and small clippings, including in plastic bags no heavier than fifty pounds, to keep them out of storm drains. Cut limbs to four feet and six inches across and stumps to twelve inches across, and keep the pile in front of the home the vegetation came from, ten feet away from walls, fences, trees, guy wires and vehicles, never in cardboard boxes or garbage containers and never on top of water or gas meters. Yard waste may not be mixed with any other item, and wood, board and lumber are not vegetation.
Household hazardous waste never goes at the curb in West Palm Beach, and the city says so in residents' terms: do not put household hazardous waste in the brown garbage cart. Palm Beach County residents drop it free at any of the Solid Waste Authority's seven Home Chemical and Recycling Centers, which sit at the county transfer stations and on the main campus at Jog Road, and the authority states plainly that there is no curbside collection for this material.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Palm Beach County residents at any of the authority's seven Home Chemical and Recycling Centers. Commercial or industrial waste needs very small quantity generator approval, and the quantity caps are thirty gallons of gasoline at the West Palm Beach and western Delray Beach centers and ten gallons at the others, twenty-five gallons of oil and ten fluorescent bulbs, with larger or unusual loads directed to the authority's option three line.
When & how
Take the material to an authority Home Chemical and Recycling Center during its published hours. The West Palm Beach center is at 6161 N Jog Road, and that center plus the Southwest County center also return an empty gasoline container to the customer, which they do Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Because the city publishes no collection for this material, it never goes on a bulk day, a vegetation day or into the garbage can.
Get it ready
Keep cleaners, aerosols, paints, stains, solvents, pesticides, fertilizers, pool chemicals, photo chemicals, automotive fluids and filters, propane and compressed gas cylinders, fluorescent tubes, CFLs, mercury devices, rubbing alcohol and cooking oil out of the garbage cart, and bring even partially full aerosol cans in rather than leaving them at the curb. Take lithium, button, rechargeable, automotive and marine batteries to a center, put alkaline batteries in the garbage, and never attempt to drop an electric vehicle battery because the centers refuse those. Empty containers, explosives, garbage, prescription medication, radioactive waste, sharps and medical waste, and tires are all refused, so they need their own route.
Three bulk items on the bulk day, appliances handled separately
A single family home can put up to three bulk items at the curb on its weekly bulk day, drawn from the city's named categories of tables and chairs, gym equipment, household items, mattresses and box springs, large child's toys, barbecue grills, sofas and large or small appliances. More than three items needs a special pickup scheduled for a fee in advance. Appliances go out with doors removed and every glass door taped diagonally from corner to corner, and a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner that holds Freon goes out only on the vegetation day, placed next to the vegetation pile and never mixed into it.
One vegetation pile, bagged clippings, cut limbs and stumps
Yard waste goes out as a single pile of up to ten cubic yards, roughly eighteen feet long, four feet wide and four feet high, in front of the home the vegetation came from the day before the scheduled pickup. Leaves, grass and small clippings are bagged, branches are cut to four feet and six inches across, stumps are no more than twelve inches across and stacked neatly, and wood, board and lumber are not vegetation. Keep the pile off water and gas meters, out of cardboard boxes and garbage containers, ten feet from obstructions, and never mix it with other items, because a pile over ten cubic yards is a violation subject to a fee.
The bulk route refuses miscellaneous garbage that belongs in the household can, building materials, commercially generated waste, propane or water tanks and any kind of drum, vehicle equipment, wood fencing, decks and concrete, and moving boxes outside the one-time courtesy collection. Construction material is never collected as part of regular service, though the city can take it on request at an additional fee, and a contractor or homeowner has to dispose of project material at the county authority's landfill or a permitted facility. Hazardous material of any kind is not allowed, and the city names paint, pesticides, oil, batteries and propane tanks as examples.
The vegetation amnesty lifts the size limit once a year
Once a year, usually over a set number of days in April or May before hurricane season, the city runs a vegetation amnesty in which residential customers can put out unlimited yard waste for collection on their regular yard waste day at no charge, with the over-limit fee waived. The pile still has to be in front of the house, bagged clippings still apply, limbs are still cut to four feet and the pile still may not be mixed with other debris. The amnesty does not apply to commercial properties or landscape contractors, and a contractor that leaves its own yard waste out can cause the property owner to be assessed up to the published amount.
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 up to three bulk items out on the bulk day
A West Palm Beach single family household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, gym equipment, electronics or another item from the city's bulk list.
Cost & conditions
The weekly bulk service carries no separately published rate, and the city charges only through the special pickup it arranges when a household puts out more than three items. Because that fee is quoted by the office and the service is part of the paid collection, the cost for a particular set is confirmed with customer service rather than presented as free.
Arrange it
Set the items out on the household's bulk day, which the interactive pickup schedule publishes, so they do not interfere with the garbage, recycling or yard waste collection. A Freon appliance goes out on the vegetation day instead, beside the vegetation pile.
Three items per household on the bulk day, with a booked and charged special pickup for anything larger. Miscellaneous garbage, building materials, commercially generated waste, tanks and drums, vehicle equipment, fencing, decks and concrete are all refused, and hazardous material is never collected.
City of West Palm Beach Public Works Solid Waste, with the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County
Schedule a special pickup beyond three items
A West Palm Beach household with more than three bulk items, or a set the bulk day limit cannot take.
Cost & conditions
The city states that more than three bulk items requires a special pickup that can be scheduled for a fee, without publishing the amount, so the price is quoted by the office when the pickup is booked.
Arrange it
Email public works or call customer service on the Solid Waste number to schedule the special pickup, and set the material out for the day the office confirms.
The special pickup is for bulk material the city accepts, so refused categories such as hazardous material, tanks and drums, vehicle equipment and commercially generated waste cannot be moved into it.
City of West Palm Beach Public Works Solid Waste, with the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County
Request a priced construction collection from the city
A West Palm Beach household with a small amount of construction material from a repair or do it yourself project.
Cost & conditions
The city states it will pick construction material up at an additional fee on request without publishing the amount, and it notes that landfill rules treat construction material as contamination and charge more for it, so the fee is quoted by the office before the material is moved.
Arrange it
Contact the Solid Waste office to request the collection, describe the material and confirm the charge, then set it out as directed for the arranged day.
Construction material is never part of regular service, so it cannot go out with the bulk pile or in the garbage can, and material generated by a contractor has to be disposed of by that contractor at the county authority's landfill or a permitted facility.
City of West Palm Beach Public Works Solid Waste, with the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County
Use a county Home Chemical and Recycling Center
A Palm Beach County household with paint, pesticides, oil, batteries, propane tanks or other household hazardous waste, or with recyclables to drop off.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Palm Beach County residents at any of the authority's seven Home Chemical and Recycling Centers, which sit at the county transfer stations and on the main campus at Jog Road. Commercial or industrial waste needs very small quantity generator approval, and gasoline, oil and fluorescent bulbs carry published quantity caps.
Arrange it
Bring the material to the nearest center during its published hours. The West Palm Beach center at 6161 N Jog Road also returns an empty gasoline container to the customer, between Monday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., as does the Southwest County center in western Delray Beach.
This is a county drop-off route rather than a city collection, and the authority states there is no curbside collection for household hazardous waste, so nothing in this stream may be placed in a bulk pile, a vegetation pile or the garbage can. Electric vehicle batteries, empty containers, explosives, garbage, prescription medication, radioactive waste, sharps and tires are all refused at the centers.
City of West Palm Beach Public Works Solid Waste, with the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County
Take project material to the county authority landfill
A West Palm Beach household or contractor with construction material from a contractor or do it yourself project.
Cost & conditions
The city routes this material to the county authority's landfill or another permitted facility without publishing the tipping rate, and the city notes that construction material carries higher landfill fees because regulators treat it as contamination, so the receiving terms are confirmed with the authority before the load is delivered.
Arrange it
Call the county authority for the landfill or permitted facility details and current terms, then deliver the separated material during operating hours.
The city will not collect this material as part of regular service, so the trip is the route, and the contractor or homeowner who generated the material is responsible for it.
West Palm Beach runs its own garbage, yard waste and bulk services with pickups scheduled Monday through Saturday, and the bulk route is the city's main answer for large items. A single family home can set up to three bulk items at the curb on its weekly bulk day, and the city names the categories, including tables and chairs, sofas, gym equipment, mattresses and box springs, large and small appliances, and the electronics group of computers, laptops, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, televisions, telephones, microwave ovens, game systems, VCR and DVD players. Anything larger needs a special pickup scheduled for a fee through the office. Appliances go out with doors removed and glass doors taped diagonally, and a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner that holds Freon is the one item that goes out on the vegetation day, beside the vegetation pile and never mixed into it. Vegetation itself is one pile of up to ten cubic yards, with bagged clippings, limbs cut to four feet and stumps no wider than twelve inches, and once a year before hurricane season the amnesty lifts the size limit at no charge. Construction material is never collected as part of regular service, though the city will take it at an additional fee on request, and project material can go to the county authority's landfill. Household chemicals and other hazardous waste never go at the curb at all, because the authority states there is no curbside collection for them: residents drop them free at one of the county's seven Home Chemical and Recycling Centers, including the center on Jog Road in West Palm Beach, which also takes electronics, batteries and propane, with published caps on gasoline, oil and bulbs.

Quantity caps apply: thirty gallons of gasoline at this center and the western Delray Beach center against ten gallons at the others, twenty-five gallons of oil, and ten fluorescent bulbs. Alkaline batteries belong in the garbage while lithium batteries must come here, and tires are not accepted.
This center and the Southwest County center in Delray Beach are the two that return an empty gasoline container to the customer. This center is open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the authority publishes each center's full hours on its facilities pages.
No charge. Free to Palm Beach County residents, in the same terms the authority publishes for all seven Home Chemical and Recycling Centers. Commercial or industrial waste is outside this free residential route without very small quantity generator approval.
Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
Will West Palm Beach take a sofa from the curb?+
Yes. Sofas, tables and chairs are named on the city's bulk item list, so they are collected at the curb once a week on the bulk day, with up to three items per household. A set larger than three items needs a special pickup, which the city arranges for a fee through customer service or the public works email. Keep building materials and commercially generated waste out of the pile, because both are refused.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a mattress in West Palm Beach?+
Put it out as a bulk item on your weekly bulk day. The city names mattress and box springs on its bulk list, so a single family home can set up to three items at the curb on the bulk day, and a mattress counts as one of them. More than three items needs a special pickup arranged for a fee through customer service. Keep the mattress out of the vegetation pile, because yard waste may not be mixed with other items.Official guidance
When do West Palm Beach appliances go out?+
Large and small appliances are bulk items and go out on the weekly bulk day, up to three items per household, with doors removed from large units and all glass doors taped diagonally from corner to corner. A Freon-containing appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is the exception: it has to go out on the same day the household gets vegetation waste collection, placed next to the vegetation pile, and it is the only item allowed beside that pile.Official guidance
Where can I put a television in West Palm Beach?+
At the curb on your weekly bulk day. The city lists televisions with computers, laptops, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, gaming systems, telephones, VCR and DVD players and microwaves as e-scrap collected through the bulk service, inside the three item limit for a single family home. More than three items needs a special pickup booked for a fee through customer service, and electronics never belong in the yard waste pile or the garbage can.Official guidance
Who collects trash in West Palm Beach?+
The city's Public Works Solid Waste division, which runs residential household garbage along with the yard waste and bulk services on pickups scheduled Monday through Saturday, with office hours Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Recycling is the one part that sits outside the city: the bins are provided through the county Solid Waste Authority and collected by Waste Pro. The city publishes a holiday trash schedule, and a missed pickup is reported to customer service on the Solid Waste office number.Official guidance
How does West Palm Beach bulk collection work?+
Single family homes get a weekly bulk day with up to three items at the curb, drawn from the city's named categories including tables and chairs, sofas, gym equipment, mattresses and box springs, large and small appliances and the electronics group. A larger set needs a special pickup scheduled for a fee by emailing public works or calling customer service. Appliances go out with doors removed and glass doors taped diagonally, and a Freon-containing unit goes out on the vegetation day beside the vegetation pile instead.Official guidance
What will West Palm Beach refuse at the curb?+
Miscellaneous garbage that belongs in the household can, building materials, commercially generated waste, propane or water tanks and any kind of drum, vehicle equipment, wood fencing, decks and concrete are all refused on the bulk route, and moving boxes are taken only through the one-time courtesy collection after a move. Construction material of any kind is not collected as part of regular service, though the city will take it at an additional fee on request, and hazardous material such as paint, pesticides, oil, batteries and propane tanks is never collected at all.Official guidance
When is the West Palm Beach vegetation amnesty?+
Once a year, typically over a set number of days in April or May before hurricane season. During the amnesty residential customers can place large amounts of vegetation out for collection on their regular yard waste day at no charge, with no size restriction on the pile and the normal over-limit fee waived, which is useful for hurricane preparation. It does not apply to commercial properties or landscape contractors, and the usual rules still hold apart from the size, including one pile in front of the house, bagged clippings, limbs cut to four feet and no mixing with other debris.Official guidance
Where do West Palm Beach paint and chemicals go?+
To a county Home Chemical and Recycling Center, free for Palm Beach County residents. There are seven of them, at the county transfer stations plus the West Palm Beach center at 6161 N Jog Road, and the authority states that there is no curbside collection for household hazardous waste. The city tells residents not to put this material in the brown garbage cart and points them to the authority, and its bulk page names paint, pesticides, oil, batteries and propane tanks among the materials that are not allowed at the curb. The centers take cleaners, aerosols, paints and solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, automotive fluids, propane cylinders, fluorescent tubes, mercury devices, cooking oil and batteries, with quantity caps on gasoline, oil and bulbs.Official guidance
