Homestead provides bulk item pickup for large items like furniture, appliances, and mattresses. Residents should schedule bulk pickups through Public Works. Items must be placed at the curb on the scheduled day. Hazardous materials, electronics, and tires require separate disposal. Miami-Dade County operates household hazardous waste collection events.
Homestead offers bulk item pickup for residential properties for large items that do not fit in standard trash bins. Eligible items include furniture, mattresses, appliances (with doors removed for safety), and other large household items. Residents should contact Public Works to schedule a bulk pickup, which may be available on a set schedule or by appointment. Items must be placed at the curb on the designated day. Hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, batteries, motor oil), electronics (TVs, computers, monitors), and tires are not accepted through regular bulk pickup and require special disposal. Miami-Dade County operates periodic household hazardous waste collection events and maintains a permanent collection center. E-waste can often be dropped at designated recycling locations. Construction and demolition debris from home improvement projects is not included in bulk pickup — homeowners must arrange private hauling or dumpster rental. Appliances containing refrigerants (refrigerators, ACs) must have refrigerants properly removed before disposal.
Dumping bulk items at unauthorized locations carries fines of $250 to $1,000. Items placed at curb outside of scheduled pickup may be cited as blight. Contact Public Works for scheduling.
