Comprehensive Guide & Details
Household Garbage Rules via Waste Pro
Residential sanitation in the Fort Pierce North area is managed by Waste Pro under the jurisdiction of St. Lucie County Solid Waste. To ensure your household trash is collected, you must place your bins at the curb before 7:00 a.m. on your specific service morning. All regular household garbage must be properly containerized in standard trash cans or tightly tied plastic bags. For the safety of the collection crews, no single garbage bag or personal trash can may exceed 50 pounds, and cans cannot be larger than 32 gallons in capacity.
Curbside Single-Stream Recycling Guidelines
The community promotes an active single-stream recycling program to help divert reusable materials from local landfills. Your designated recycling cart should be used strictly for clean, unbagged recyclables like cardboard, paper, metal food tins, and plastic bottles. When placing your recycling cart at the curb, make sure the handle is facing your property. Position the bin opposite your mailbox and leave at least four feet of clearance between your regular garbage cans and the recycling cart to prevent automated lifting issues.
Disposing of Yard Waste and Tree Limbs
Florida's coastal environment produces constant yard debris. Residents are instructed never to mix yard trimmings with their standard household garbage or recyclables. Grass clippings, leaves, and small twigs must be fully containerized. If you are trimming trees, you must neatly stack branches and palm fronds at the curb. To guarantee pickup, tree limbs cannot exceed four feet in length, and no single piece of wood or bundle of brush may exceed 50 pounds. Avoid creating tangled, unmanageable piles.
Bulk Items and Move-Out Debris Warnings
While standard household bulk items are collected, there are strict limits to prevent roadside dumping. Bulky item volumes that exceed two cubic yards per week will incur a $10 per cubic yard supplementary fee, which is billed directly through your utility account. If you are doing major home renovations or have massive move-out piles, standard residential crews will not service them. You are required to order a commercial dumpster from Waste Pro or hire an independent debris removal service at your own expense.
