Vero Beach sits inside Indian River County, and the two governments split the job: the City of Vero Beach picks up residential garbage twice a week inside the city limits, while the county's Solid Waste Disposal District runs the recycling program. Unincorporated Indian River County moved to Universal Curbside Collection on October 1, 2025, putting a 95-gallon blue single-stream cart at every home. Five Customer Convenience Centers plus the county landfill handle everything the cart will not take.
The City of Vero Beach Solid Waste Division normally picks up garbage from residential customers twice a week inside the city limits and also collects recyclables from non-residential customers. The residential recycling program within the city limits is provided by Indian River County, and the city monitors it.
As of October 1, 2025, unincorporated Indian River County transitioned to Universal Curbside Collection. Residents receive a new 95-gallon blue cart for single-stream recycling picked up once a week. If the cart size does not suit your household, WM can change it at 772-569-1776.
The county runs five Customer Convenience Centers, open 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., closed Wednesdays plus New Year's Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and for residential use only. Beyond regular curbside recyclables they take household hazardous waste including rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, motor oil, water and oil-based paints, mercury-containing items, and medical sharps, plus blue-cart rejects such as white Styrofoam, plastic bags and wrap, scrap metal, electronics, tires, and small yard waste.
At 1325 74th Ave SW, Vero Beach, open seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and closed New Year's Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Tipping fees are set by resolution of the Solid Waste Disposal District and increase 3 percent annually.
Construction and demolition debris is chargeable and must be brought directly to the sanitary landfill rather than a convenience center. Branches over three inches in diameter and land clearing debris also have to go to the main county landfill. See our construction and demolition guide.
