Residential Bulk & Yard Waste
All Yard Waste items will be collected on the same collections schedule as your current Bulk Trash service.
To avoid interruption with your curbside collection service, the following rules should apply:
- Bulk trash and yard waste service will be picked up twelve (12) times per year, once every month on your scheduled collection day. Residents, who have a bulk trash and yard waste pick-up schedule in the fourth (4th) week of the month, please note this may not necessarily be the last week of the month since some months may contain five (5) weeks.
- Bulk and yard waste items include household goods such as couches, chairs, mattresses, tables, appliances (white goods), carpet and padding. It also includes unbundled yard waste such as tree trimmings, branches, palm fronds no longer than six (6) feet in length, large tree trunks must be cut into half or quarter pieces depending on size not to exceed thirty (30) pounds, lumber, fencing and metal poles.
- Place all items for collection within (5) feet of the street by 7:00 am on the scheduled pick-up day to ensure pick-up.
- Bulk items must be placed curbside in a neat and orderly manner.
- Do not place bulk items for collection next to a mailbox, utility pole or close to a fence.
- Bulk waste and yard waste materials must be generated by the customer at the residential unit where the bulk is collected. Commercial materials (such as roofing material, tile, concrete, bricks, stones, etc.) will not be removed.
- Bulk waste and yard waste will not be collected if it is generated by anyone other than the resident of the home.
- Construction materials (roofing material, tile, concrete, bricks, stones, etc.), automotive parts, engines, transmissions, batteries, tires, used oil, paint, insecticides, chemicals and hazardous waste will not be collected.
- Bulk items and yard waste may be placed at the curb for collection no more than 24 hours prior to the scheduled collection day.
- Do not place items in front of a vacant lot or home, they will not be collected.
- If you experience a “missed pick-up” on your collection day, or have any questions please call the Customer Service Center at (954) 602-HELP(4357) or Waste Pro at 954-967-4200.
- For disposal of refrigerators, the compressor (which contains hazardous waste materials) located at the rear of the unit and all doors, must be removed for safety prior to pick-up. Household appliances containing freon gas (air conditioning units, refrigerators) will be picked up at normal bulk pick-up times, at no charge to the resident, only if the unit is certified and documented to have been professionally purged of freon gas. Units not certified and documented as being purged of freon gas will be picked up for a charge of $25 to the resident. Waste Pro is charged a $25 disposal fee, by Federal law, for units not purged of freon gas.
- Residents who missed their allocated bulk pick-up date and would like a special pick-up scheduled, may have a pick-up charge. For rate information, you may contact Waste Pro at (954) 967-4200
