The City of Fort Walton Beach is set to hold its August Neighborhood Clean-Up event, offering residents a free opportunity to dispose of large household items.

  • Throughout August, trash collection crews will pick up unwanted household items such as furniture, appliances, and mattresses at no charge. These items, typically too large for normal trash collections, can be placed on the curb for removal.

Residents are asked to position items away from fire hydrants and other above-ground utilities. Pick-ups will occur on regularly scheduled yard waste collection days.

The city has waived the usual 4 cubic yard limit per household for the duration of the event, allowing for increased disposal of large items.

  • However, the clean-up does not accept all materials. Construction and demolition debris, concrete, bricks, glass, tires, and hazardous materials are explicitly excluded from the collection.

For additional information, residents can contact the Sanitation Division at 850-833-9655 or visit the city’s website. Click here to see the Yard Waste Schedule map.

PLEASE NOTE: This service is available only to City of Fort Walton Beach residential trash customers, not commercial accounts or South Okaloosa County residents living outside the city limits.
