Suwannee County Refuse Collection in Live Oak is the county spot for dropping off household refuse and common cleanup debris. Locals, landscapers and folks cleaning out garages use it when regular pickups won't do or during big yard days.
Drive to 14890 FL-51 and pull up to an entrance booth and a scale area - sites like this usually weigh loads so expect to stop twice if that’s how they run it. The yard looks like a working lot: roll-off containers, piles for different materials, and separate sections for yard waste or hurricane debris during storm season. Lines can back up on weekends and after storms, so there’s often a bit of waiting and maneuvering large trucks and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a cover or tarp for loose debris so it doesn’t blow off while driving into the site.
- Have a plan for unloading a trailer in a compact space; backing up near skips can be tight and requires patience.
- Aim for weekday mornings when possible to avoid the longer lines that build up on weekends and after major yard or storm events.
