Leon County rules

• The Rural Waste Service Centers, which include the drop-off at the Solid Waste Management Facility, are for residents of unincorporated Leon County, full or part time. Bring a government ID with an unincorporated address, or an ID and a utility bill, tax document, or lease. Each customer gets one free load a day, about a level pickup bed (a trailer up to 8 by 6 by 2 feet), separated into garbage, yard debris, small household items, bulky items, recycling, and hazardous waste. Commercial loads aren’t allowed, even from a home; extra loads are sent to Marpan.
• At the Solid Waste Management Facility, City of Tallahassee residents and businesses pay $50.18 a ton for yard debris, and tires past the first four free are $180 a ton ($500 for oversized ones). City residents can’t bring household garbage, bulky items, or recycling there; the county sends them to Marpan Recycling, 6020 Woodville Highway (850-216-1006).
• Homes outside Tallahassee city limits can subscribe to Waste Pro’s curbside service (850-606-1899): weekly garbage, recycling, and yard debris, and up to 2 cubic yards of bulky items a week set at the curb, with no need to call ahead. City of Tallahassee customers use the city’s solid waste service (850-891-4968).
