Brevard County Disposal Facility in Cocoa is the county dump where locals bring household and yard-type loads. People from around the area use it for regular drop-offs and for cleanup after storms.
There’s a small entrance booth and a lane you pull into before getting to the main tipping areas. Large open piles and roll-off style drop zones are visible from the approach, and separate sections for yard debris are common at Florida sites like this. Expect to stop at a scale or checkpoint on the way in or out and to drive slowly around the paved work areas while watching for heavy equipment.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go earlier in the day on weekdays if possible; weekends and post-storm days get backed up.
- Bring straps or tarps so loose loads stay secure during transport and are easier to unload.
- Sort materials in the truck or trailer beforehand so unloading is quicker and fewer trips around the site are needed.
