Bulky junk goes to the curb by arrangement or self-hauled to a St. Johns County transfer station, never dumped. Illegal dumping is prosecuted under Florida's Litter Law, Fla. Stat. §403.413, which scales from a $150 civil penalty to a felony by weight.
Furniture, appliances, and other bulk items are handled through the county's transfer stations. Residents with a driver's license showing a current St. Johns County address haul household garbage, white goods, and household hazardous waste to the Tillman Ridge Transfer Station in Elkton or the Stratton Road station in St. Augustine, open Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday until 1:00 p.m. Yard waste is free; tires, pressure-treated wood, construction debris, and paint carry a charge. The route the law polices hard is dumping. Fla. Stat. §403.413 makes it unlawful to dump litter in any amount, with penalties climbing from a $150 civil penalty to a third-degree felony for loads over 500 pounds.
Dumping furniture, appliances, or debris on a lot, roadside, or waterway instead of using an approved route violates Fla. Stat. §403.413, punishable from a $150 civil penalty up to a third-degree felony for over 500 pounds, plus mandatory cleanup.
