Tarpon Springs holds free bulk pickups twice yearly in April and November. Accepted items include furniture, mattresses, and large appliances. Items must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the scheduled day.
Tarpon Springs offers two annual citywide bulk-item collection events, one in April and one in November, scheduled by the Solid Waste Division. Notification reaches residents via utility bill inserts, social media, and the city website three to four weeks in advance. Accepted items include furniture, mattresses, small household items, carpet and pads cut and bundled in 4-foot sections, ovens, washers, dryers, and microwaves. Excluded items include tires, yard waste, propane tanks, gas-powered equipment, air conditioners, concrete, construction debris over 4 feet, refrigerators, freezers, televisions, electronics, and chemicals. Off-cycle bulk pickups for construction debris and large furniture require scheduling with Solid Waste at 727-943-4837.
Setting out non-accepted bulk items, illegal dumping, or oversized loads outside scheduled events results in code enforcement action and removal-cost recovery.
