Local Tips & Community Info
Turning Your Empty Cans into Cold Cash in Deltona?
While Deltona's weekly residential recycling collection was temporarily suspended in 2019, that doesn't mean you can't still get a little something back for your empties. Keep an eye out for state-run bottle and can redemption programs across Florida; you can often turn aluminum cans and plastic bottles into cash at redemption centers. For larger metal items, check out local scrap yards in the wider Volusia County area. A quick search for 'Volusia County scrap metal prices' can point you in the right direction for potentially selling old appliances or metal scraps.
Giving Your Gently Used Stuff a New Home in Deltona
Got items that are still good but you no longer need? Before they end up in the bin, consider donating them! In the Deltona area and nearby towns, places like the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Sanford or Volusia County are always looking for furniture, building materials, and home goods. Local thrift stores, like the Goodwill in Orange City, also happily accept clothing, household items, and books. It's a fantastic way to declutter and help out your neighbors at the same time.
Keeping Deltona Clean: Tackling Bulk and Dumpers
Dealing with bulky items beyond the usual limits? While the city has specific guidelines, for unusually large or questionable items, it's best to contact Deltona's Solid Waste Management directly at 386-671-8670 to see if a special pickup can be arranged. If you happen to spot illegal dumping – someone leaving trash where they shouldn't – reporting it is super helpful. You can usually do this by contacting the city's code enforcement or public works department. Staying proactive helps keep our community looking its best for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't my recycling being picked up?
Deltona suspended its curbside recycling program indefinitely in February 2019 due to unfavorable market conditions and high processing costs. All materials placed at the curb are currently taken to the landfill. The city asks residents to keep their bins in case the program restarts in the future.
How much garbage can I put out each week in Deltona?
The city offers a very generous limit. Along with your 96-gallon Waste Pro cart, you can put out up to three additional personal trashcans (max 50 lbs each if non-wheeled) and up to six large trash bags per week.
Can I put construction debris at the curb?
No, construction and remodeling debris is not considered standard bulk waste. It will not be picked up on your regular collection day. You must call Waste Pro at 386-574-0723 to schedule a special pickup, which will require additional disposal fees.
Where can I dispose of old motor oil and car batteries?
