Okaloosa County's Waste Management franchise collects bulk items - furniture, appliances, mattresses - for unincorporated residents, up to four cubic yards per pickup. Larger loads and construction debris go to the Baker Landfill or a private hauler.
Waste Management collects bulk waste from unincorporated Okaloosa County homes: household furniture, mattresses, treated lumber, electronics, bicycles, push mowers with fluids drained, and white goods with refrigerant removed, generally limited to four cubic yards per pickup. Set items curbside on your scheduled day, not days early. Construction and demolition debris is not part of standard bulk pickup - haul it, along with major storm and renovation debris, to the county's Baker Landfill at 1415 Charley Day Road off Highway 4. Illegal roadside dumping is a state crime and a recurring problem on rural Panhandle lots.
Dumping litter or bulk waste on roadsides or vacant land violates Florida's Litter Law and county code, carrying fines that climb with volume. Setting bulk items out days early can draw a code citation.
