New Service Guidelines May 2025
DownloadTrash & Yard Waste Pickup
Walton County has partnered with WM to provide residential waste service that sets the standard for sustainable trash disposal and recycling.

If the regular collection day for trash, yard waste, or bulk falls on a holiday, the waste will be collected on the next regularly scheduled collection day in Area A and the next business day in Area B. Check for holidays that may affect your service.
Review local residential trash & recycling guidance before your next pickup or service request.
Service Information
Residents are provided one free, gray 96 gallon cart and may contact WM to purchase additional carts.
Smaller sized carts are available for purchase from WM.
Existing green WM carts can be used for a second, free service.
The gray carts are property of Walton County.
Service Schedule
Area A (South Walton, Freeport, Villa Tasso, Choctaw Beach) receive twice-per-week trash, once-per-week yard waste and once-per-month bulk service.
Area B (North Walton, Paxton, Steelfield Bunker) receive once-per-week trash, once-per-week yard waste and once-per-month bulk service.
Container Setout Instructions
Place carts at the curb by 5 a.m. on collection days. Keep at least four feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles that may prevent WM team members from picking it up. Please remove all carts from the curb as soon as possible after collection.
Service Instructions & Limitations
All trash must be inside the cart with the cart lid closed. Trash outside the cart will not be collected.
What Belongs in Your Container
Acceptable items include standard household trash like food waste, chip bags, paper towels, plastic bags, and textiles (donate if lightly used).
Non-acceptable items include construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical or electronic waste.
