Junk removal costs in Deltona

Waste Pro, which collects household garbage in Deltona, draws one line worth knowing before you clear out a house. A few bulky pieces, like a couch, a chair or a table, can go to the curb on your regular garbage day. A "move-out" pile or a big load of construction debris is different. For amounts like that, Waste Pro asks you to call for a quote first. Small bits of debris, such as some old fencing or floor tile, ride along with normal collection.

Have everything out by 6 a.m. Bulk and extra bags are picked up once a week. Appliances and tires take a phone call to Waste Pro, and tires are capped at eight a year.

If you'd rather haul it yourself, Volusia County runs the West Volusia Transfer Station in DeLand. It's open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and closed Sunday. It takes household garbage, yard waste, construction debris, appliances and tires, but each type has to be kept separate in your load. There's also a household hazardous waste drop-off and a paint exchange, where residents can trade used paint for new colors.

The county posts rules for its waste sites, and one of them is about the weather: watch for lightning, and for animal activity, while you unload. Two others keep you close to your truck. Stay within five feet of it, and don't sling material off the bed.
