St. Johns County contracts curbside collection, it does not run the trucks itself. Under Fla. Stat. §125.01(1)(k) the county provides and regulates solid-waste collection, and its franchised hauler FCC Environmental Services collects household garbage weekly across the unincorporated county.
Florida is a home-rule state, and Fla. Stat. §125.01(1)(k) gives St. Johns County the power to provide and regulate garbage and solid-waste collection. The county exercises it through a franchise: FCC Environmental Services Florida hauls residential garbage, recycling, and yard debris on a fixed weekly schedule for the unincorporated county. Garbage, recycling, and yard waste are separated by the resident and set curbside by 6:00 a.m. on the collection day. Your route day is looked up through the county's Recycle Coach tool. Whatever the trucks miss, residents may self-haul to the Tillman Ridge or Stratton Road transfer stations.
Placing solid waste out for collection outside the franchised system, or letting it accumulate rather than arranging approved collection, draws a St. Johns County code-enforcement citation and abatement under the county solid-waste ordinance.
