WM provides bulk trash collection in Fort Lauderdale on a scheduled basis. Bulk items include furniture, appliances, mattresses, and other large items that do not fit in the regular trash cart. Tree trimmings, hedge cuttings, palm fronds, and tree limbs up to 12 feet long and 12 inches in diameter are accepted. Items should be placed at the curb on the scheduled bulk collection day. Hazardous materials, electronics, tires, and construction debris are not accepted as bulk trash and require special disposal. The Broward County Waste and Recycling Services operates household hazardous waste collection events and drop-off locations. Residents can find their specific bulk trash schedule using the city's interactive collection map or by contacting the Neighbor Support Center.
