Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get rid of an old mattress in Titusville?
Mattresses and other large furniture items will not be collected with your regular automated trash service. You must call the Solid Waste Division directly at 321-383-5755 to request to be put on the residential bulky item pickup list.
What should I do if my city-issued garbage cart breaks?
If your cart's wheels, axles, or lid breaks due to normal wear and tear, contact the Solid Waste Division. The city will deploy a technician to repair or replace the cart free of charge. However, keeping the cart clean remains your responsibility.
Can I leave extra bags of garbage next to my bin if it's full?
Generally, no. Titusville enforces a strict "out-of-cart" ban, and any extra bags left on the ground will be ignored. The only exception is the week immediately following Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the 4th of July, when two extra bags are allowed.
Do I have to buy special paper bags for yard waste?
No. In Titusville, you are permitted to containerize your yard clippings, leaves, and small twigs in either standard plastic trash bags or paper bags. These will be picked up on your normal garbage day.
