If you find either of the cards shown below in your yard, it means that we had trouble picking up your bulky items or yard trash.
Yard Card for Bulky Items and Yard Trash
Due to the condition(s) checked below, we could not collect your Yard Trash and/or Bulky Items
- Mixed Waste Pile - Yard waste must be separated from bulky items and all other debris to ensure recycling of this material. The Leon County Solid Waste Facility does not accept mixed waste at the Class III landfill.
- Leaves, straw, and/or twigs are not in bags or boxes.
These items must be placed in containers so that they will not blow off the
truck or clog storm drains.
Please make sure your yard waste and bulky items are set out correctly for the next scheduled pickup.
You may request an off schedule pickup for an additional fee.
Call 891-4YOU (4968) for more information.
City of Tallahassee Ordinance Sec. 21-488 - Continued placement of mixed piles at the curb can result in additional fees.
