St. Petersburg residents schedule bulky waste pickup through the city sanitation department under Chapter 27 Article V, with a per-cubic-yard fee for items beyond the standard free list.
Chapter 27 Article V solid waste rules address bulky waste removal. Residents must call the city sanitation department at 727-893-7398 to schedule bulky pickups for items such as furniture, appliances, mattresses, or large yard waste piles that do not fit in the regular cart. The city offers a limited free list and charges a fee per cubic yard above that list, currently around 25 dollars per cubic yard for accumulated waste, building materials, or brush. Hazardous household waste, paint, electronics, and tires must be taken to the Pinellas County Solid Waste facility rather than placed at the curb. Sec. 27-505 requires items to be set out only after pickup is scheduled and to be off the right of way once collected.
Setting out bulk items without scheduling, mixing hazardous waste into bulky piles, or leaving piles after the scheduled date can trigger code enforcement notices, fines, and removal charges under Chapter 27.
