How pickup works in Gainesville
Gainesville takes bulk items every week on your garbage day at no extra cost, and crews may come any time until noon the next day. Appliances and electronics are the exception and need an appointment. The not-accepted list is long, covering hot tubs, pianos, sheds, fencing and decking, so check it before you drag anything out.
The schedule, set-out and limit rules don't single out brush, limbs and yard waste; they follow the general bulky item rules.
