Bulk Trash Collection

The City provides once a month bulk trash pickup for residential properties (single family and townhome residences, as well as multi-family residences up to six units).  The bulk schedule is on the back of every water bill and in every Town Crier.

There are also four scheduled bulk trash pickups each year for condominium properties. If you are unsure whether your complex receives this service, please call City Hall Utility Billing at 954-390-2145.  Commercial customers are not eligible for bulk pickup, but they may call Utility Billing for guidance.

Bulk trash includes items such as furniture, appliances and other materials not suitable for normal loading into packer-type vehicles.  Bulk collection is not intended for hazardous chemical waste, automobile parts, major construction debris, or trash generated by contractors such as commercial landscaping or lawn service companies, building contractors, painters, etc.  Materials transported to a residential unit from elsewhere is strictly prohibited.  Also, mirrors, glass table tops, window panes, plate glass, etc., will not be picked up unless they are properly and safely placed in a rigid container to prevent unnecessary accidents.  The placing of these items unsatisfactorily at the curb represents a serious threat of injury to employees of Coastal Waste & Recycling.

The City asks that residents place bulk items out for pickup no earlier than the weekend preceding your scheduled collection date.  Placing items out too early could result in enforcement action and fines.  Especially during hurricane season, it is important to ensure that unsecured materials are not left at the curb any longer than necessary in case a storm arrives.

Additionally, during bulk pick-up week in January, old Christmas trees (without lights, ornaments or tree stands) are picked up and burned at the Waste-to-Energy Plant to create energy.
