Broward County Bulk Trash Pickup Schedule & Rules

Broward County and its cities offer bulk trash pickup for residential customers, but service runs on a monthly schedule with strict item restrictions and set-out rules. This guide covers how the schedule works, what each city accepts, and what to do when you can't wait weeks for your next pickup day.

How Broward Bulk Trash Scheduling Works

City-by-City Collection

Broward County waste service is split between the county and its cities. Unincorporated areas are handled by the Broward Municipal Services District with once-a-month bulk collection. Incorporated cities like Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs and Pembroke Pines each run their own sanitation program with their own bulk trash calendar, so your schedule depends on where you live.

How to Schedule

  1. Check your city's sanitation page or the Broward County schedule
  2. Look up your address to find your assigned bulk pickup day
  3. Place items curbside before 7:00 AM on your collection day
  4. Set out no earlier than 24 hours before pickup
  5. Remove any leftovers within 12 hours after collection

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is bulk trash picked up in Broward County?

In unincorporated Broward County, bulk waste collection happens once a month on a set day tied to your service area. Incorporated cities like Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs and Pembroke Pines each run their own sanitation program with their own bulk pickup calendar, so the schedule depends on which city you live in.

How do I find my Broward trash pickup schedule?

Unincorporated residents can view the collection schedule and area map at broward.org/WasteAndRecycling or call 954-765-4999. If you live inside a city, check your city's sanitation page or call your municipal utility. Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach and most Broward cities post their bulk trash calendars online with an address lookup tool.

What items are NOT accepted in Broward bulk trash pickup?

Broward haulers will not take construction debris, land-clearing debris, automotive or marine parts, commercial waste, or hazardous waste. Paint, chemicals, motor oil, tires, car parts and large amounts of remodeling debris are also rejected. Those materials need a private hauler like U Call We Haul.

What if I miss my Broward bulk trash pickup day?

If you miss your scheduled day, items left at the curb can trigger code enforcement fines and you have to wait until the next monthly cycle, which could be weeks away. Same-day junk removal is the fastest alternative when you cannot wait. U Call We Haul picks up the same day across every Broward zip code.

Can U Call We Haul pick up items Broward County won't take?

Yes. We haul construction debris, remodeling waste, concrete, electronics, commercial junk and oversized loads that Broward bulk pickup rejects. Same-day and next-day availability across all of Broward County, from Fort Lauderdale to Coral Springs to Weston.
