Pinellas County addresses bulk waste under Chapter 106, with each city or licensed hauler scheduling residential bulk pickup and the county handling self-haul disposal at solid waste facilities.
Chapter 106 of the Pinellas County Code authorizes municipalities and licensed haulers to set residential bulk-waste collection programs. Most Pinellas haulers offer scheduled bulk pickup on an as-needed basis, often requiring residents to call for an appointment and follow size and weight limits. Items typically accepted include furniture, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant tags removed, and bagged yard waste. Construction debris and tires generally are not collected curbside and must be self-hauled to the Solid Waste Disposal Complex at Bridgeway Acres. After hurricanes, the county coordinates separate vegetative-debris and construction-debris pickup using FEMA-eligible contractors under emergency declarations.
Setting unauthorized bulk items, hazardous waste, or construction debris at the curb can trigger pickup refusal, illegal-dumping citations, and required cleanup at the property owner's expense.
