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

Section 18-1 of the Miramar Code of Ordinances defines 'Yard Trash or Waste' as vegetative debris, including but not limited to limbs, branches and palm fronds, capped at six feet in length and 12 inches in diameter, and specifies that to count as Bulk Trash the material must come from normal, routine yard maintenance rather than tree removal. The same section's Bulk Trash definition folds qualifying yard debris into the broader bulk-item stream alongside furniture, appliances and construction scraps, but expressly excludes Contractor Generated Waste, meaning cuttings produced by a hired landscaper, tree surgeon or lawn service are not eligible for city pickup even if they meet the size limits.

Once yard debris qualifies as Bulk Trash, it follows the placement rules in Section 18-27: it cannot be set at the curb more than seven days ahead of the property's scheduled bulk pickup day, must be stacked neatly, and cannot be piled within three feet of vehicles, mailboxes, utility poles, storm drains, landscaping pavers or leaned against a tree or fence, or it will be skipped by the crew. Bulk collection, including qualifying yard trash, is also suspended during any Hurricane Watch or Warning or other declared natural disaster, and the customer must haul the material back onto the property and secure it until service resumes. does not collect it.
