Guide
Miami-Dade County provides free bulky waste pickup for residential customers, but service runs on a zone-based schedule with strict volume caps and item restrictions. This guide covers how the schedule works, what the county accepts, and what to do when you can't wait one to three weeks for your window.
Miami-Dade Solid Waste Management divides the county into collection zones. Each address is assigned to a specific zone with its own regular garbage, recycling, and yard waste days. Bulky pickups are requested separately and slotted into the next available window for your zone — usually one to three weeks out.
Wait times and specific pickup days vary by zone. If you're unsure which zone you're in, the county's address lookup tool at miamidade.gov/solidwaste is the definitive source.

Big bulk trash pickup jobs — full garage cleanouts, estate clearings, post-renovation debris, or anything you need gone today — usually exceed the county's limits or fall on their restricted list. That's where U Call We Haul comes in.
Most Miami-Dade County residential customers receive up to two scheduled bulky waste pickups per year, plus regular yard waste and household trash service. Pickups are scheduled by zone, so wait times can range from one to three weeks after you call it in.
Visit miamidade.gov/solidwaste or call 311 and provide your address. The county's schedule lookup will show your regular garbage, recycling, and yard waste days, along with instructions for requesting a bulky pickup.
The county will not take hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, tires, car parts, concrete, dirt, rocks, propane tanks, or large amounts of construction debris. Commercial waste and remodeling debris also do not qualify — those need a private hauler like U Call We Haul.
If you miss your scheduled window, items left at the curb can trigger code enforcement fines and you will need to reschedule — often another one to three week wait. Same-day junk removal is the fastest alternative when you can't wait.
