Lauderhill, FL Trash & Recycling: Yard Waste Collection (2026)

City Code Section 10-16 has the city provide chipping services to single-family residential units, with materials the city will chip determined from time to time and placed adjacent to the street at times the city designates. The department of environmental and engineering services sets the service schedule, and the resident is responsible for having permitted materials at curbside when scheduled. The fee is $75.00 per hour with a $75.00 minimum charge, billed as an additional charge on the utility bill under Section 21-46, and the meter starts running when the city vehicle arrives at the property.

The included activities are chipping tree limbs up to 8 inches in diameter, leaving the resulting wood chips on the property at the resident's request, and raking leaves left from the branches into a pile on the swale. The service explicitly excludes removing bagged or bundled yard waste, chipping limbs over 8 inches in diameter, and removing waste from any species of palm tree or any other municipal garbage, and the service is limited to single-family customers who maintain an active water account with the city, so multifamily buildings and inactive accounts do not qualify.
