Start with the service address, not a ZIP code. Palm Beach County and the City of West Palm Beach follow different boundaries and pickup arrangements. This guide separates home sharps, household hazardous waste, routine residential collection, and facility biomedical waste so you can check the right public source before traveling or arranging service.
Biohazard Cleanup Connect is an independent information and referral guide. It does not perform cleanup, pickup, transport, treatment, testing, clearance, or disposal work. The public contacts below provide program or regulatory information, not commercial pickup.
Active danger or a medical emergency? Move away from the hazard and call 911. This guide and its site inquiry number are not emergency or dispatch services.

Step one · exact property
A West Palm Beach mailing address or ZIP code does not settle City limits, County jurisdiction, or who handles ordinary pickup. Use the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser address search and parcel information first. If the parcel record leaves the boundary unclear, contact the responsible office before relying on a schedule.
Parcel check
Palm Beach County says a PCN beginning with 00 identifies unincorporated County property; other prefixes indicate a municipality. A parcel number is a starting point, not a substitute for confirming an unclear boundary with the County.
If the boundary is unclear, the County Zoning FAQ directs property questions to the Property Appraiser at 561-355-2881.
Routine collection
West Palm Beach's pickup schedule is address-based and applies to addresses confirmed inside the City. Palm Beach County describes franchised haulers in unincorporated areas, while other municipalities arrange their own garbage service. Confirm a current schedule by the exact address.
Open the City pickup scheduleCity Solid Waste: 561-822-2075The County's Guide to Services is an older overview, not a current pickup lookup. Use it for the general distinction, then confirm the current hauler or municipal service for the exact property.
The source and setting matter
Household sharps, household chemicals, ordinary residential trash, and facility biomedical waste use different public guidance. An HHW site or regular cart is not a route for sharps or facility-generated biomedical waste.
Generated at home
For eligible personal-use sharps. Palm Beach DOH lists a separate home-sharps route with its own container, eligibility, hours, and current fee to confirm.
Review the DOH household programHousehold chemicals
For household chemicals accepted under SWA's current instructions. This route is separate from needles, sharps, and facility biomedical waste.
Check the SWA drop-off detailsOrdinary residential service
For routine household collection. The West Palm Beach schedule is address-based and applies only after the address is confirmed inside the City.
Choose the correct pickup sourceGenerated by a facility
For clinics, laboratories, dental and veterinary practices, and other generators. Ask Palm Beach DOH about the specific facility and activity.
Open facility-program guidanceUse the street address and responsible public office for jurisdiction and program questions. This code group is not an address lookup. Your county is set by your exact address.
It does not establish City limits, Palm Beach County jurisdiction, public-program eligibility, waste acceptance, or provider coverage. Confirm exact-address jurisdiction with the responsible authority.
For personal use at home
Palm Beach DOH's brochure describes a home-sharps program for household or personal use. Businesses and health professionals are not eligible for that resident route. Facility-generated sharps need facility-specific guidance.
SWA says its trash, recycling, and Home Chemical & Recycling Center routes do not accept sharps or biomedical waste. Do not put sharps into those streams.

SWA Home Chemical & Recycling Center notice, May 26, 2026For ordinary household service
Use the West Palm Beach schedule only for an address confirmed inside City limits. County guidance describes franchised haulers for unincorporated Palm Beach County and separate arrangements in municipalities. A ZIP code or mailing city does not select the right schedule.

Read the County Guide to ServicesWest Palm Beach says it does not collect household hazardous waste and tells residents not to place it in the brown garbage cart. The City's A–Z guide says medical waste should not go in regular garbage and points resident needle and syringe questions to the Health Department. That guide is not a pickup arrangement or a direct provider referral.
For practices, labs, and other generators
Contact the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County about the actual facility, material, and activity. DOH provides program and regulatory guidance. It is not a commercial pickup service or public drop-off for facility waste.
Palm Beach DOH · Environmental Public Health
County office address
800 Clematis St.Do not route facility-generated biomedical waste through home-sharps programs, household hazardous-waste centers, routine trash, or a public drop-off unless the responsible program confirms that exact material and activity. Florida DOH's biomedical-waste program covers generator, transporter, storage, and treatment questions other than incineration; Florida DEP has primary responsibility for incineration and final disposal.
