Titusville Trash and Recycling Schedule

City of Titusville garbage is picked up once a week on a day set by street, and the city schedule page lists every street with its day, from A Max Brewer Memorial Parkway (Monday) to Zoltan Drive (Friday).

Long Titusville roads such as Barna Avenue and Cheney Highway are split by house number, so the address range matters, and a few streets are marked Dumpsters rather than a day (City of Titusville collection schedule). Anyone who cannot find a street can call the Solid Waste Division at 321-383-5755, which also mails or emails the annual Refuse and Recycling Guide or hands it out at City Hall (City of Titusville Solid Waste page).

Everything must be at the curb by 6:30 am on pickup day, and the city warns that pickup times vary because routes are adjusted (City of Titusville Solid Waste page). The procedures page adds the outer limits: containers go out no sooner than 5:00 p.m. the day before collection and come back in by 8:00 p.m. on collection day (City of Titusville garbage collection procedures).

Titusville recycling is picked up every other week on the household's regular garbage day, and the city publishes the first day of each 2026 recycling week.

The Titusville schedule page is clear that the dates mark the first day of each recycling week and that recycling is still collected on the same day as garbage (City of Titusville collection schedule). Recyclables go loose, not bagged, in the recycling cart (City of Titusville recycling program). This calendar covers 2026 only; residents who receive paper utility bills are mailed the Refuse and Recycling Guide in December of each year (City of Titusville Solid Waste page).

When a holiday lands on a Titusville collection day, that day's pickup moves, usually one day earlier or later, and the city lists each change on its schedule page.

The pattern on the Titusville 2026 list is consistent (City of Titusville collection schedule). For a Monday holiday such as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day or Labor Day, Monday's pickup moves to Tuesday and Tuesday's to Wednesday. For a Friday holiday such as Christmas Day or New Year's Day, Friday's pickup moves to Thursday and Thursday's to Wednesday. On Thanksgiving, Thursday's pickup moves to Wednesday. Veterans Day brings no change. Each entry ends with the same note: there are no other changes that week.

After the big holidays there is some slack. In the week following Thanksgiving, Christmas and July 4th, Titusville residents may set out up to two additional bags of refuse beside the cart on their collection day at no charge (City of Titusville garbage collection procedures). Outside those weeks, all household refuse has to fit in the cart.

Bulky items and wood need a call to the Titusville Solid Waste Division at 321-383-5755 to get on the pickup list, while small piles and containerized yard debris go out on the regular garbage day with no call.

Furniture, appliances, large boxes, carpet and metal items are collected from the curb only, never from carports, garages or backyards, and refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed (City of Titusville bulk pickup page). Wood, lumber, plywood, pallets, 2x4s and landscape logs are picked up once a month by request and must be cut into 4-foot lengths and kept apart from other trash. Because a grapple truck often does this work, piles must sit at least 6 feet from trees, mailboxes and power poles, 10 feet from parked vehicles, and never on a water meter or under wires.

Yard debris has its own rules in Titusville. Containers can be no larger than 32 gallons and no heavier than 50 lbs, with two handles and a tight lid; branches are cut to no more than 4-foot lengths, stacked in one direction and kept separate from garbage (City of Titusville bulk pickup page). A pile bigger than the bed of a small pickup truck needs a call, and amounts beyond about twenty cubic yards are the owner's responsibility unless a disposal fee is paid. Debris from a contractor's tree work is the contractor's or owner's to haul. Plastic and paper bags are acceptable for yard trash (City of Titusville Solid Waste page).

The Titusville recycling cart takes clean paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, aluminum and tin cans and plastic bottles and jugs with caps on, while plastic shopping bags, shredded paper and greasy pizza boxes go in the trash.

The city recycling list, updated June 2021, also accepts cardboard egg cartons, juice and milk cartons, foil pans, metal spray cans with lids on and plastic yogurt tubs, and asks that aluminum cans not be crushed (City of Titusville recycling program). It rejects drink pouches, plastic wrap, K-Cup pods, Styrofoam, bubble wrap, hardcover books and printer cartridges, and its rule of thumb is that when in doubt, the item goes in the trash, because contamination can turn a whole load into garbage.

For the garbage cart, Titusville requires all refuse to be bagged, lids closed, and a maximum of 250 pounds; carts sit within three feet of the curb with the handle facing away from the street (City of Titusville garbage collection procedures). A $48 deposit is required to receive a garbage cart and for any second garbage cart, while an extra recycling cart needs no deposit. Broken carts are fixed or replaced free, and a household with a physician's statement on file can have the cart collected from the side yard. Dirt, rocks, concrete, hot coals, propane tanks, needles and household hazardous waste never go in the cart.

For items the City of Titusville does not take, such as roofing material, concrete, dirt and household hazardous waste, the city points residents to Brevard County solid waste facilities, three of which it lists by address.

The city Solid Waste page lists the Mockingbird Way Mulching Facility at 3600 South Street, Titusville, (321) 264-5009; the Titusville Transfer Station at 4366 South Street, (321) 264-5048; and the Central Disposal Facility at 2250 Adamson Road, Cocoa, (321) 633-1888, and asks residents to call each facility about what it accepts (City of Titusville Solid Waste page). The procedures page points hazardous waste to the county mulching facility at SR-405 (South Street) and Park Avenue (City of Titusville garbage collection procedures). The bulk page explains why roofing, tar paper, shingles, bricks and cinder blocks stay out of city trucks: restrictions set by Brevard County (City of Titusville bulk pickup page).

Brevard County Solid Waste manages landfills, transfer stations, a mulching facility and household hazardous waste collection centers, and oversees curbside collection for residents in unincorporated Brevard County (Brevard County Solid Waste Management); inside Titusville city limits, collection is the job of the city's Solid Waste Division (City of Titusville Solid Waste page). A city home page notice read on October 21, 2026 also warns that county facilities are seeing high volumes, extended waits and capacity limits, so regular and bulk pickups in Titusville may be delayed (City of Titusville home page notice). The monthly garbage and recycling charges are covered in the water bill and payments guide.

The City of Titusville Solid Waste Division, at 2910 Garden St, answers trash and recycling questions at 321-383-5755, Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm.

The Solid Waste page sends questions, bulky item requests and requests for the annual Titusville guide to that number (City of Titusville Solid Waste page), and the recycling page adds missed collections and households with no cart (City of Titusville recycling program). Commercial dumpster service is set up by the customer, with pickup days available Monday through Saturday depending on the container. Some city pages print the number without the area code, as 383-5755 (City of Titusville bulk pickup page).
