Recycling in Melbourne, Florida

The City of Melbourne contracts WM for garbage, recycling, and yard waste, with recycling collected every Wednesday from yellow-lidded carts. The city's ECO Division inspects those carts on Wednesday mornings and leaves door hangers at homes with contamination. Household hazardous waste and electronics go to the Brevard County site at 3379 Sarno Road.

Frequently Asked Questions

What day is recycling pickup in Melbourne, FL?

Recycling is collected on Wednesdays from the yellow-lidded cart. Garbage goes in the green-lidded cart on a separate day that you look up on the city's interactive map. Set carts out after 5:00 PM the day before and have them at the curb by 6:00 AM.

Can I put plastic bags in my Melbourne recycling cart?

No. Plastic bags are the most common item the ECO Division finds in carts that does not belong there, because they tangle in the machinery at the processing facility. Many grocery stores take bags for recycling instead.

Where does Melbourne take household hazardous waste and old TVs?

The Brevard County household hazardous waste facility at the Sarno Landfill and Transfer Station, 3379 Sarno Road, takes them Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It accepts household chemicals, paint, batteries, pool chemicals, TVs, monitors, computers, and cell phones. The site is open to Brevard County residents, and the phone number is 321-255-4452.

How do I get rid of an old refrigerator or tires in Melbourne?

Schedule a specialty bulk pickup with WM at 321-723-4455. Appliances need the doors removed and all contents emptied, and the city allows four standard vehicle tires per year. Electronics need their batteries removed first, and those batteries go to the Sarno Road hazardous waste facility.

What are the yard waste rules in Melbourne, FL?

Yard waste goes out in plastic or metal containers of 40 gallons or less and 50 pounds or less, and paper or plastic bags are not accepted. Branches must be 4 feet or shorter. Yard waste never goes in the recycling or trash carts.

Where do I take fencing, lumber, or plywood in Melbourne?

Take it to the Cocoa Landfill at 2520 Adamson Road, which is free for residents to drop off. WM does not collect wood fencing, lumber, docks, plywood, or pallets curbside. A Bagster bag arranged through WM holds up to 3,300 pounds, or you can hire a rolloff company.

Recycling tips for Melbourne

  • •Melbourne's green lid is garbage only and the yellow lid is recycling only. Request recycling decals from the ECO Division at 321-608-5080.
  • •WM skips pickup on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and moves those routes to the next regular day.
  • •Extra carts cost $70 each, and a swap to a different cart size costs $25.
  • •Before a hurricane threatens, trim trees early, since yard waste set out ahead of a storm stays at the curb and collections stop if Brevard County landfills close.
  • •Bring a driver's license or utility bill showing a Brevard County address to the Sarno Road hazardous waste site.
