Bulk Trash
The Bulk Trash Pickup Program features bulk trash
collection of large household items and tree trimmings,
up to 10 cubic yards in size, for residential customers.
Pickup days are once a month including scheduled
holidays
(except for Christmas Day). Items accepted for bulk
trash pickup include appliances, furniture, carpet,
mattresses, toys, wood scraps, cabinet doors, tree
clippings, leaves in boxes/bags or tires (4 max.).
The City provides special pickups by appointment,
for a fee, for items exceeding the 10 cubic yard
limit and for additional services. The City now recycles
100% of all yard waste. Separating yard waste from
other bulk trash at the curb helps keep disposal
costs down.
In the City of Fort Lauderdale, trash is picked up
everyday of the year except December 25. To find
out the pick up days for your area, please use the
Property
Information Reporter. (NOTE: This application is unavailable between the hours of 11 pm and 2 am.)
