Residential Waste Service in Indian River County, FL

Beginning October 1, 2025, unincorporated Indian River County will transition to Universal Curbside Collection service, making it easier and more convenient for everyone to manage their waste and recycling.

Each residence will receive once per week collection service for carted Trash, Recycling, and Yard Waste, and up to (4) Bulk Trash items.

If you are currently a WM subscription customer, your service will not change before October 1, 2025.

Between May and September all residents will receive a new cart for Trash, Recycling and Yard Waste, as well as information on universal collection service, collection service guidelines, and your new collection service schedule that begins October 1.

Please take note of these important dates below regarding the delivery of your new

Recycling, Yard Waste, and Trash carts.

WM will be exchanging your current Recycling cart for a new 65-gallon Recycling cart.

Please note that if your residence currently has multiple recycling carts, WM will exchange all of them at the same time. To ensure a smooth exchange, please place your current Recycling cart(s) curbside on your regular Recycling collection day during June and July until it is picked up.

You may begin using your new Recycling cart immediately.

WM will deliver a new 95-gallon Yard Waste cart to your residence. Along with your cart, you’ll find an informational brochure containing important details about your new curbside collection services and service days, effective October 1, 2025.

Yard Waste carts WILL NOT be serviced until October 1.
