Other notes
- Source conflict: the Perdido Landfill page lists Saturday hours as 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m., but the Waste Services main page says 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. This page shows the landfill page's hours. Call before going early on a Saturday.
- Trailers carrying HHW plus other items count as split loads. Unload the HHW first, then continue to the Customer Convenience Center for trash, debris, appliances and electronics.
- Free re-blended latex paint is given out in exchange for a new five-gallon bucket with a lid. Call 850-937-2160 for pickup times and colors.
- The county also runs the Oak Grove Citizens Convenience Center in north Escambia County. It is open Friday and Saturday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., at $9.01 per cubic yard ($11.64 minimum), with a 5 cubic yard daily limit and no tires.
- Special waste and asbestos must be reviewed, approved and scheduled ahead of time. A hi-vis vest ($2.50) is required on the landfill working face.
