Set-out rules
Cart and set-out rules in Jacksonville.
Garbage goes to the curb no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 6 a.m. on collection day, and empty containers must be off the curb by 6 a.m. the day after.
Your street is served by city crews, Meridian Waste or Waste Pro, and the container rules below depend on which one.
Where city crews or Meridian Waste collect, garbage is picked up by hand rather than from a cart: use plastic bags or cans with handles and tight-fitting lids, each no more than 45 gallons and 40 pounds.
Where Waste Pro collects, garbage goes in the city-issued cart: space carts at least two feet apart and three feet from obstructions, with wheels facing away from the road and lids fully closed.
In Waste Pro areas, garbage that won't fit in the cart with the lid closed waits for the next week's pickup.

How days are assigned
How Jacksonville assigns collection days.
Jacksonville publishes a per-address collection calendar (Jacksonville Solid Waste collection calendar) through the ReCollect service. There is no single citywide weekday to quote: each address has its own dated calendar, which is why the lookup shows upcoming dates for your property.
We last checked Jacksonville on August 17, 2026: 12 of 12 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Jacksonville's pickup days.
