The City of Port St. Lucie will permanently close the Solid Waste Drop-Off Center, located on Cameo Boulevard, effective January 5, 2026, due to decreased usage and the financial impact of maintaining the site.
Currently, only about a quarter of our residents use the waste drop-off center, and its operating costs exceed the annual solid waste fee paid by all residents.
The closure will save taxpayers approximately $2 million annually, reflecting our commitment to fiscal responsibility and ensuring taxpayer dollars are used as efficiently as possible.
Disposal of Bulky Items
To ensure residents continue to have access to bulky item disposal, including appliances, equipment, and small electronics, the City offers three convenient alternatives:
Monthly curbside bulky item pickup: Residents can place up to 2 cubic yards of bulky items at the curb on their scheduled collection day.
Drop-off at St. Lucie County Landfill: Residents may transport materials directly to the landfill for proper disposal (fees may apply).
Schedule additional pickups: Additional pickups are available for a fee of $18.50 per cubic yard. To schedule service or request a quote, call 1PSL at 772-871-1775 and press 5.
