Santa Rosa County rules
- The Jay Transfer Station charges by the load: $10 for a truck loaded below its side rails, $15 above them or with an empty 8-foot trailer, and $20 to $25 with a loaded or longer trailer. You unload everything by hand. It takes no yard waste, mattresses, couches, treated wood, self-dumping trailers, or commercial or multi-home loads; since Oct. 6, 2026 it takes small household construction loads.
- Since March 1, 2025, unincorporated Santa Rosa County has no franchise hauler, so each home arranges its own garbage service with Adam’s Sanitation (850-537-3282) or Waste Pro of Florida (850-365-1900), the two permitted providers. Gulf Breeze, Milton, and Jay run their own pickup.
