Port St. Lucie provides weekly curbside collection of garbage, recycling, yard waste, and bulk items through a contracted hauler (FCC Environmental Services). Service is mandatory for all residential properties within the city.
Collection is provided by FCC Environmental Services under city contract. Each residence receives one 95-gallon garbage cart (collected once per week), one 65-gallon recycling cart (collected once per week), yard waste pickup once per week, and bulk waste pickup once per week. Collection days vary by zone and are listed on the city website. Carts must be placed at curb by 6 AM on collection day and removed by the end of the day. Carts should be placed at least 3 feet apart and away from mailboxes and parked vehicles. Holiday schedule shifts collection by one day when major holidays fall on a weekday. Solid waste assessment appears on annual property tax bill (non-ad valorem assessment).
Late cart placement, early cart placement (before day prior), or leaving carts curbside after collection day may result in code warnings and fines starting at $50.
