In a majority vote by the Board of County Commissioners, they ultimately omitted the service from a contract with FCC in Oct. 2024 as a result of high costs. Currently, residents can drop off only clean, flat, corrugated cardboard at any of the Environmental Convenience Centers: Clay Hill, Doctor's Inlet, Keystone Heights and Long Bay. You can also drop off at Rosemary Hill.

Starting at $15, residents have access to a one-time or weekly service of any amount of corrugated cardboard without leaving their home — an easy way of reducing clutter, saving time, and help keeping recyclable materials out of the trash.
The business was started by Erika, a busy mom of three, who recognized the practical pickup and transportation challenges. Residents can call or text (904) 502-0620 to schedule a pickup, according to their website.
