Summary
Brevard County residents get bulky item pickup by calling their collector to schedule it; oversized yard waste over 4 feet, 24 inches, or 50 pounds also needs a special collection call, not curbside set-out.
All yard waste not capable of being placed in a yard waste receptacle shall be neatly placed at the collection point and shall be cut in lengths not to exceed four feet in length and 24 inches in diameter and 50 pounds in weight. For removal of yard waste not meeting the size and weight limits and exceeding three cubic yards in volume, the customer shall notify the collector that they desire a pick up and the collector shall schedule a special collection.

Full Breakdown
Brevard County's collector handles bulky items and brush only by appointment: Code § 94-47(a)(7) requires a customer wanting bulky solid waste picked up to notify the collector and set it out on the collector's designated day. Code § 94-49(c) sets loose yard waste limits, pieces over four feet long, 24 inches in diameter, or 50 pounds, or a pile bigger than three cubic yards, need a scheduled special collection rather than routine curbside pickup. Landclearing debris from contractors or property-clearing operations is excluded entirely; those generators must haul it to a solid waste facility themselves, per § 94-49(e)-(f).
Violations & Fines
Oversized bulk items set out without a scheduled special collection get refused or tagged by the collector; violations are enforceable under § 94-4, with citations up to $500 per offense.
