Hialeah provides bulk trash collection on designated days through its Sanitation Department. Large items, furniture, appliances, and yard waste that do not fit in standard containers are collected on a separate schedule from regular garbage.
Bulk trash pickup is available on designated collection days, typically once or twice per week depending on the area. Items must be placed at the curb on the scheduled day. Accepted items include furniture, mattresses, appliances (with doors removed), and large household items. Construction debris, hazardous waste, and electronics are not accepted in bulk pickup. Yard waste should be bundled or in bags not exceeding 50 pounds. The city also offers special cleanup events for larger disposal needs. Appliances with refrigerants require special handling.
Placing bulk items at the curb on non-designated days is a code violation. Illegal dumping of construction debris or hazardous materials is subject to fines and cleanup costs. Items left after collection may trigger code enforcement.
