YARD WASTE COLLECTION - RESPONSIBILITY AND FEES

As part of Walton County's contract with WM, Yard Waste will be picked up on a regular schedule at no cost to residents, but to be collected it must meet specific guidelines.

Yard Waste that does not meet the guidelines will not be picked up by WM, per contract, and the resident must schedule a separate pickup of the materials. In addition, any costs associated with an out of specification pickup will be the responsibility of the resident.

To schedule a pickup or inquire about your pick up days, please contact WM by phone at 850-389-6121 or by email at WaltonCounty@wm.com.
