About this center

Indian River County operates a landfill and five Customer Convenience Centers for residents across the county, including locations in Vero Beach, Roseland, and Fellsmere. The convenience centers accept curbside recyclables plus items not allowed in the blue cart, including household hazardous waste (lithium-ion batteries, fluorescent bulbs, motor oil, paint, mercury items, and medical sharps), white Styrofoam, plastic bags and wrap, scrap metal, electronics, tires, and small yard waste. Centers are open 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and are closed Wednesdays (with an additional weekday closure that varies by location) and on major holidays; they are for residential use only. Construction and demolition debris, large branches, and land clearing debris must go directly to the sanitary landfill, where tipping fees apply.

Frequently asked questions

What materials can I drop off at the Customer Convenience Centers?

Beyond your regular curbside recycling, the centers accept household hazardous waste such as rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, motor oil, water- and oil-based paints, mercury-containing items, and medical sharps. They also take items not allowed in the blue cart, including white Styrofoam, plastic bags, plastic wrap, scrap metal, electronics, tires, and small yard waste.

What are the hours for the convenience centers?

The Customer Convenience Centers are open 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. All centers are closed on Wednesday, plus New Year's Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Each center also has additional weekday closure days (for example, Roseland, Winter Beach, and Gifford are closed Tuesday and Wednesday; Oslo and Fellsmere are closed Wednesday and Thursday).

Who is allowed to use the Customer Convenience Centers?

This is a great idea and way to dispose of garbage and recycling. Since they have changed the way they do cardboard. I have now been there 5 times with loads of cardboard only to find that both of the cardboard dumpster are gone. They tell you 3 to 4 hours for return. Here’s an idea for whom ever runs this place. Surly you can afford 4 of those dumpsters with the money you are charging us to do your work for you. And the money you make for recycling itself. So that when you pull a full one you can replace it with an empty one. Not talking astrophysics here. As I left again today with a load of cardboard to take back home in a line of other people leaving with their cardboard. This cannot be that hard????

I watch one person throw away house hold stuff including wood in the house hold dumpster. The attendent even helped him. I pull up start throwing house hold stuff away but have to move to let them move the barracade to the empty dumpster. As im waiting im told i cant throw away my normal house hold stuff there i have to go to the big landfill. Yes i had wood as well but but why do i have to go to landfill? They do this bs to me everytime i go there. Honestly i think its because im not brown like the other guy and the attendent. I said what i said.

Loved it so much my wife and I plan to have our second honeymoon there. I know we will not be disappointed. Our first honeymoon was on the beach in Panama City. That can't compare. My only wish is that we had found this place sooner. Hopefully we will be close to the styrofoam area or maybe the old paint can collection. Seriously though very well organized and helpful to get rid of all you need to dispose.
