Every route for construction debris in Jacksonville, checked in October 2026 against the city’s current rules and the drop-off sites named. The full Jacksonville guide covers every other item.
Here is how each route works in Jacksonville, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Jacksonville curbside household bulk collection: construction debris
Free, with a step firstJacksonville's bulk rules do not list construction debris as accepted or prohibited, and crews generally leave remodel loads. Small amounts of lumber may go as bulk; for a real remodel use a dumpster or the county landfill.
Who qualifies: Houses with City of Jacksonville residential collection. Apartment complexes are commercial accounts and use their own haulers.
How to schedule: No appointment for ordinary bulk. In areas without automated carts (City and Meridian Waste areas) bulk is collected weekly with garbage; in automated-cart areas (Waste Pro) it is every other week. Appliances and tires are the exception: schedule those by calling 630-CITY (904-630-2489) or at myjax.custhelp.com.
Limits: 5 cubic yards per week, about 30 full 32-gallon bags. Tires are limited to 4 standard vehicle tires per scheduled pickup.
Set-out: Curbside between 5 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. on collection day, at least 3 feet from carts and away from mailboxes and cars.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Jacksonville: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering construction debris, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.
If you run a nonprofit or housing program in Jacksonville: you can start the conversation now through the For partners page.
Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, 757 square miles, and that scale shapes how trash collection works here. Bulk pickup is weekly with no appointment needed for most items, but appliances and tires require scheduling. This page walks through every option in order from free to paid, with the specific rules that apply across Duval County.
The Jacksonville rule for construction debris: Jacksonville's bulk rules do not list construction debris as accepted or prohibited, and crews generally leave remodel loads. Small amounts of lumber may go as bulk; for a real remodel use a dumpster or the county landfill.
Program basics: 5 cubic yards per week, about 30 full 32-gallon bags. Tires are limited to 4 standard vehicle tires per scheduled pickup. Curbside between 5 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. on collection day, at least 3 feet from carts and away from mailboxes and cars.
What the city will not take: Household hazardous waste of any kind (illegal in the residential stream under city code), appliances and tires without a scheduled pickup, and anything from a business.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Jacksonville Solid Waste: Service Standards, City of Jacksonville Solid Waste Collection Quick Reference Guide, City of Jacksonville: Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why construction debris are different from ordinary bulk. The homeowner versus contractor distinction matters. Cities that accept any C&D at the curb accept it only from residents doing their own work, in small amounts, usually bagged or bundled under 50 pounds. Contractor-generated debris is excluded everywhere and must be hauled by the contractor; make sure debris removal is in your contract.
Three mistakes that get construction debris left at the curb:
Most renovation debris will go through one of these paid channels. Match the volume to the option.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$30 to $100 per pickup loadTransfer stations charge by weight (commonly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum) or by load. A pickup truck of mixed debris typically runs $30 to $100. Sort concrete and clean wood out for cheaper rates where offered.
Tarp the load; most jurisdictions fine uncovered debris.
Call about asbestos rules before hauling anything from a pre-1980 house.
LoadUp paid construction debris pickup
$80+For households who need same-week service or live in apartment buildings over 4 units, LoadUp offers professional removal in Jacksonville with upfront pricing. Independent loaders in the marketplace handle pickup, loading, and licensed disposal.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your construction debris. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.

Can I put construction debris out with bulk trash?
In most cities, no. Bulk programs exclude C&D. Some cities accept small quantities of homeowner-generated debris (bagged drywall, bundled lumber) under strict weight limits. Contractor debris is excluded everywhere. Check your city in the directory below.
How much does it cost to dump construction debris?
Transfer stations charge roughly $60 to $120 per ton with a minimum fee, so a pickup load runs $30 to $100. Bag dumpsters total $130 to $230. Roll-off dumpsters cost $300 to $600 for a week. Hauler pickup prices by volume from about $150.
What can I recycle from a renovation?
Clean concrete, brick, and asphalt (aggregate recyclers), clean lumber (wood grinders), scrap metal (free at yards), cardboard, and in some regions clean drywall and asphalt shingles. Intact cabinets, doors, windows, and fixtures are donations rather than recycling.
Will Habitat ReStore pick up kitchen cabinets?
Most ReStores pick up complete cabinet sets in good condition, along with doors, windows, appliances, and fixtures. Schedule before demolition and remove cabinets carefully with doors and drawers intact.
