NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP: Fort Walton Beach offering free bulky item pickup throughout January

Residents can place large household items curbside on their regular yard waste day for free collection during the month.

Couches, old appliances and worn-out mattresses cluttering your garage? The City of Fort Walton Beach wants to haul them away.

  • The city’s January Neighborhood Pickup offers free bulky item collection for residential customers throughout the month. The service covers furniture, appliances, mattresses and other oversized items that won’t fit in standard garbage bins.

Residents should place items curbside on their regularly scheduled yard waste collection day, keeping them clear of fire hydrants and above-ground utility boxes.

The service does not accept construction debris, concrete, bricks, glass, tires or hazardous materials. Okaloosa County offers free disposal of household hazardous waste at its Ready Avenue facility.

Only homes within City of Fort Walton Beach limits qualify for the pickup. Residents unsure of their boundaries or collection schedule can check the city’s residential services page at fwb.org or call the Sanitation Division at 850-833-9655.
