Yard Waste Exception
Yard waste and bulk collections follow the same holiday delay schedules as standard garbage for both major haulers.

Local Tips & Community Info
Turn Your Old Cans and Bottles into Cash Around Navarre!
Hey neighbors in Navarre! Did you know Florida has a state-run program that pays you for certain bottles and cans? You can get 5 cents back for each qualifying item. While there isn't a dedicated 'buyback center' right here in Navarre, many of the larger grocery stores and supermarkets in the wider Santa Rosa County area will accept these returns. Just look for the redemption machines inside or ask customer service. It's a simple way to make a little extra cash while doing your part for the environment. If you've got a lot of metal to get rid of, like old appliances or scrap metal, checking out a local scrap yard in Pensacola or Fort Walton Beach could be worth your while. They often pay by weight for various metals.
Giving Your Unwanted Stuff a New Life in Navarre
Before you toss that gently used couch or those still-good clothes, think about giving them a second chance! Down in Milton, the Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a fantastic place to donate furniture, appliances, and building materials. They help fund Habitat for Humanity projects, which is pretty awesome. For clothing, household items, and smaller furniture, check out the local Goodwill stores in Pace or Milton. They're always looking for donations to help support their job training programs. Even if it's not perfect for a donation center, maybe a neighbor could use it – posting on a local community group online is another great option!
Keeping Navarre Clean: How to Handle Special Waste and Dumping
Keeping our beautiful Navarre beaches and neighborhoods tidy is a team effort! If you've got things like old paint, batteries, or electronics that can't go in your regular bins, Santa Rosa County holds Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events periodically. You can usually find information about these on the Santa Rosa County government website or their solid waste department pages. They also have specific instructions for reporting illegal dumping. If you see trash piled up where it shouldn't be, reporting it to the county is the best way to get it cleaned up. This helps prevent pollution and keeps Navarre looking its best for everyone.

How do I get rid of an old mattress in Navarre?
You must contact your specific contracted hauler (Adam's Sanitation or Waste Pro) to schedule a bulk waste pickup. Alternatively, you can transport the mattress yourself to the Central Landfill on Da Lisa Road in Milton.

Hazardous materials cannot be thrown into your curbside garbage or recycling carts. You must take them to the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Center at the Central Landfill in Milton, which is open Monday through Saturday.
