Doral, FL Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Section 32-70(c)(4) defines bulky waste as all large items of household refuse, including appliances, furniture, accumulations from major tree cutbacks, large crates and similar articles, and states plainly that disposal is the responsibility of whoever generates it, not a city collection crew. That classification sits inside the broader minimum-capacity framework of Section 32-70, which separately covers residential refuse, commercial refuse and industrial waste, so bulky items do not count toward the twice-a-week garbage capacity the city otherwise requires. Because bulky items cannot simply be set at the curb indefinitely, Section 32-71 supplies the timing rule: subsection (a) generally requires an owner, and for single-family homes or duplexes the occupant too, to clear garbage, trash and debris from their property and the adjacent right-of-way within 24 hours of it being placed there.

Subsection (b) carves out an exception for bulky items specifically, exempting the temporary storage of discarded furniture, appliances or bedding pending collection for a period of less than 72 hours, and also exempting anything already properly stored for collection under the article. In practice that gives a resident up to three days to have a hauler or the franchisee remove a couch, refrigerator or tree-cutback pile before the placement is treated as an unlawful accumulation.
