Plantation, FL Trash & Recycling: Dumpster Rules (2026)

Monday through Saturday, and none at all on Sunday. The City retains broad discretion over these franchises under subsection (d): it can grant them by ordinance or resolution, revoke or modify any franchise in its sole discretion, and change the methods of C&D collection and disposal citywide, without that being treated as a taking or a breach of contract.

Franchise fees are paid quarterly in arrears as set out in each franchise agreement under subsection (e), and the City does not regulate a franchisee's billing process or rates to its own customers. 5 backs this franchise structure with a use requirement and a penalty. Under subsection (b), if a contractor holding a building or demolition permit, or an occupied residential unit, doesn't remove C&D debris using its own equipment by some method other than roll-off containers, the debris is deemed discarded and the City's C&D franchisee has the exclusive right to remove it.

Subsection (c) makes it a Code violation for a permit-holding contractor or a property owner to collect or dispose of C&D debris through anyone other than the city-franchised C&D collector, prosecutable in county court, by injunction, or through code enforcement. 00.
