No. Once curbside recycling resumes, garbage will NOT be collected from recycle carts.

The following standards are applicable to all service areas in accordance with Sec. 382.415, Jacksonville Ordinance Code.

Typically, waste isn't collected because it doesn't meet service standards. Common mistakes include:

Bulk items include furniture, mattresses, rolled carpet/padding, fencing, plywood, treated/painted wood, and non-recyclable glass (such as mirrors). Glass must be wrapped and taped. Extra garbage is not considered bulk and needs to be collected on the next regularly scheduled collection day

E-Wastes are computers, non-flat panel televisions, printers, keyboards, etc.
Duval County residents are encouraged to recycle their electronic wastes (e-wastes) rather than placing them curbside.

Yard waste set out for collection must be completely natural and vegetative. Do not mix yard waste with garbage, lumber, fencing, recycling or bulk materials.

Must schedule collection in advance by calling (904) 630- 2489 (CITY) or by opening a request
