Reminder: Cantonment, Farm Hill Neighborhood Cleanup Day Is Wednesday
August 20, 2024
Residents of a portion of Cantonment and Farm Hill can dispose of yard debris and other items free of charge during a District 5 Neighborhood Cleanup on Wednesday, August 21.
During neighborhood cleanups, Escambia County departments team up to bring services to residents in an effort to keep local neighborhoods clean and safe. Participating is easy: Residents in the cleanup area simply leave eligible items at the curb to be disposed of free of charge by Escambia County and partnering agencies.
All debris must be at the curb directly in front of residences in the area by 7 a.m. on the day of the cleanup. Tires and paint cans should be separate from all other debris. Debris piles should not be placed under low-hanging lines or near poles, fences or mailboxes. All items, including containers, will be collected.
Only residents in the designated cleanup area are able to participate in the neighborhood cleanup. Items left at the curb outside of the cleanup area will not be collected.
Items eligible for removal include:
- Household appliances and electronics
- Household junk and debris
- Bicycles and toys
- Old furniture and mattresses
- Barbecue grills
- Household hazardous waste (old paint, motor oil, chemicals, batteries)
- Tires (limit 10 per household)
Items NOT eligible for removal include:
- Building materials (concrete, bricks, blocks, roofing, drywall or lumber)
- Explosives or ammunition
- Auto parts
- Dirt or sod
- Vehicles or vessels
- 55-gallon drums of fluids
The neighborhood cleanup initiative involves an aggressive cleanup effort, targeting different neighborhoods throughout the county, with crew members and volunteers picking up a variety of debris and waste, including electronics, furniture and household items.
Since 2016, more than 6,915 tons (13,830,000Â pounds) of debris were collected and disposed of through the Community Redevelopment Agency’s Safe Neighborhood Program.

“as expected… graphic is incorrect.”
The graphic was created by the county.
as expected… graphic is incorrect.
County politely informed me that they don’t do pickup in my fortunate spot between districts somehow!
WHAT A JOKE!
Interested to see how many folks got skipped over who live on a major artery in the grey area notated on the graphic.
Followed all instructions, very small amount of acceptable items, placed in proper position and time.
Was there really that much? Saw one of the trucks go by empty!
Will be calling the county to know how long to leave it out there before code enforcement decides to show up and collect on a bogus charge.
