Hours, fees and pickup rules change, especially after storms and at the start of a new fiscal year. Every line below links to the official page it came from. Confirm with Palm Coast or Flagler County before you load the truck.
Who picks up trash in Palm Coast
- The City of Palm Coast contracts with FCC Environmental for garbage collection, recycling, yard waste, bulk trash and white goods removal.[1]
- FCC Environmental Services took over Palm Coast trash and recycling from Waste Pro on June 1, 2023, under a seven year agreement the City Council approved in July 2022.[4]
- Only residents within Palm Coast city limits receive city trash service.[2]
- Flagler County's own Waste Pro contract covers only unincorporated areas, and the county tells city residents to contact their city; for Palm Coast that number is 386-986-2360.[5]
- Residents buy their own trash cans, which should hold 10 to 35 gallons and weigh no more than 60 pounds when full, and up to 4 cans may be set out on a service day.[1]
- Bagged trash must be placed in cans.[1]
Bulk trash pickup in Palm Coast
- Bulk trash is picked up weekly on your second trash day of the week, with no separate request needed.[1]
- Bulk trash can include furniture, mattresses, TVs, dishwashers, stoves, washers and dryers.[1]
- Keep each week's bulk pile to 3 cubic yards or less.[1]
- White goods such as refrigerators and hot water heaters are set curbside after you call Customer Service to arrange pickup, refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed, and pickup can take 1 to 5 days.[1]
- White goods pickup can also be requested through Palm Coast Connect.[3]
- If a pile is oversized, the contractor tags it for pricing and the city cannot regulate those charges; residents can also haul debris to a local landfill site themselves.[3]
- Yard waste is picked up on Wednesdays; items must be under 6 inches in diameter and no longer than 5 feet, and the pile may not exceed 2 cubic yards.[1]
- Yard waste over those limits gets a tag, and you pay the hauler directly to pick it up.[1]
- Yard waste does not have to be bagged or bundled and should not be mixed with rocks, lumber, other trash or construction debris.[3]
- Under city ordinance, waste generated by a contractor such as a lawn service or tree trimmer must be removed by that contractor at their own expense.[1]
- Do not put debris on vacant lots, because residential service is not provided on undeveloped properties.[3]
Palm Coast trash pickup schedule
- Each home has two garbage days a week: the first is for regular household garbage and the second takes garbage plus bulk items.[3]
- To find your days, use the city's trash schedule search and enter your street name without the house number, leaving off the suffix if needed.[1]
- Recycling is single stream and collected weekly, and recyclables such as cans and bottles should be rinsed.[1]
- Collection days are days of service, not set times; the hauler can come anytime between 6am and 6pm, so set items out after 6pm the night before and before 6am.[3]
- City code says cans may go out no earlier than 6:00 PM the day before collection and must be brought in by 6:00 AM the day after they are emptied.[1]
- Items must be placed in the collection area within five feet of the driveway.[1]
Hazardous waste disposal in Palm Coast
- Flagler County's household hazardous waste drop off is not currently available, and residents are asked to store these materials safely until the next Amnesty Day.[6]
- The City of Palm Coast's garbage page repeats that the county drop off site has closed and that the first amnesty day is expected in January 2027.[1]
- Household hazardous waste includes batteries, fluorescent lights, household cleaners, paint products, pesticides, pool chemicals and used oil, and these should not go in the regular trash.[6]
- Computers, peripherals, TVs and other electronics can contain hazardous substances and should be stored safely, not trashed; the county will share which items Amnesty Days accept when details are available.[7]
- The county lists all televisions except CRT and projection televisions among the electronics covered.[7]

Hours: The entire site, including recycling drop off, has been closed indefinitely since September 18, 2026.[6]

Check with the city first
- Flagler County closed its household hazardous waste and recycling drop off site on September 18, 2026, and some county pages still describe it as open, so call 386-313-4179 to confirm current options and the Amnesty Day date.
- An older city help article still names Waste Pro and gives different white goods timing; the current Garbage Collection page names FCC Environmental, so trust that page and Customer Service.
- Oversized bulk or yard piles are priced by the hauler, not the city, so ask for the price before agreeing to a tagged pickup.
- After storms, debris pickup rules and schedules change, so check city storm updates before setting debris out.
