Weekly Garbage
Collection Information
WHAT DO I PUT IN MY GARBAGE CART AND HOW OFTEN IS IT COLLECTED?
Household garbage should be bagged before placing in the cart.
Bags will keep your cart clean and minimize odors. Do not put
hot ashes or coals, recyclable items, household hazardous waste
and medical waste in the garbage cart. Do not overfill the
carts. The lids must remain closed to prevent littering, allow
for automated collection and help to control odor and varmints.
Residents are not allowed to reload the cart for additional
service on their collection day. You should occasionally hose
out your cart.
IS THERE A SPECIAL SERVICE FOR DISABLED PERSONS?
Please call the City of Pembroke Pines Public Services
Department to request special service if you are disabled- 954-450-6900.
HOW DO I DISPOSE OF TRASH THAT DOESN’T FIT IN MY CART?
Solid
waste too big, bulky or heavy to fit in the garbage cart is
considered bulk trash and will be picked up separately by
different equipment on your monthly bulk pickup day. Trash
should be placed three feet away from your cart. See back of
this form for bulk collection information.
HOW DO I DISPOSE OF BULKY RECYCLABLES?
Place
white goods (stoves, washers, refrigerators, other large
appliances) at the curb on your regular scheduled bulk
collection day. These items will be collected and recycled. Put
appliances a minimum of 3 feet from the trash pile and three
feet from your trash cart.
WHERE DO I PUT MY HOUSEHOLD RECYCLABLES?
Residents should use the blue recycling cart for recyclables, paper, metal, glass
and plastics.
WHEN DO I PLACE MY CART AT CURBSIDE FOR PICKUP?
You
should move the carts to the front curb the night before your
collection day, no earlier than 6:00 p.m., but no later than
6:00 a.m. on your collection day. Promptly remove your cart from
the curb after collection.
WHERE DO I PLACE THE CART ON COLLECTION DAY?
Place
the cart near or at the curb and at least three feet away from
your mail box, utility poles, trees, gas or water meters, fire
hydrants, cars, sprinkler heads or anything collection equipment
could damage. If you have a ditch, place the cart on the street
side of the ditch if possible. Always place the cart at curb
with wheels and handle towards your residence. When your cart is
delivered, it will be placed at the best location for pickup. Do
not leave the cart on the street where it may be stolen or
damaged.
WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW MY GARBAGE OR RECYCLING COLLECTION DAY?
You
can find out your garbage, recycling, or bulk pickup day by
logging on to
http://www.ppines.com.
You may also call the City of
Pembroke Pines Public Services Department at 954-450-6900 or
Waste Pro USA at 954-967-4200 for recycling, garbage or bulk
pickup days.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A FAMILY MOVES?
The
carts belong to the City of Pembroke Pines and must remain at
your former residence.
HOW OFTEN WILL GARBAGE, RECYCLING AND BULK ITEMS BE COLLECTED?
Household garbage placed in the wheeled garbage carts will be
picked up twice each week on your garbage collection days.
Recycling is picked up once weekly. Bulk items are collected
twice a month on your scheduled bulk collection day.
WHAT ABOUT PARKING ON COLLECTION DAYS?
Do
not park at the curb on collection day. If a car is blocking the
safe collection of your garbage by the automated equipment, then
the driver will not pick up at that time. You will not receive
collection service. In order to be serviced, all carts should be
placed at least three feet from vehicles, trees, etc., as
discussed previously. In those few locations where parking is an
extreme problem, or where sidewalks are narrow, place carts on
the driveway or next to the curb with the wheels against the
curb, and park autos so as to accommodate the new system. When
delivered, your wheeled cart will be placed in the correct
position for collection.
WHAT IF MY CART IS STOLEN, DAMAGED OR DESTROYED?
The
wheeled cart is the property of the City of Pembroke Pines and
must not be painted, abused, mutilated, altered or modified in
any way. If the cart is damaged or stolen, the following policy
applies: If the damage is your fault, you will be required to
pay for a replacement. For example, any cart that is destroyed
by hot ashes or coals shall be the responsibility of the
customer, and it shall be replaced at the customer’s expense. If
the collection contractor damages your cart it will be replaced
at no charge.
WHAT IS THE SERIAL NUMBER STAMPED ON MY CART?
Each
address has a cart “assigned” to it, indicated by the serial
number stamped on your cart. This helps residents keep up with
their cart, and helps the City of Pembroke Pines locate lost
carts and return them to their proper home.
HOW DO I DISPOSE OF HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE (HHW) SUCH AS
PAINT AND MOTOR OIL?
Do
not place HHW (flammables, paint, poisons, motor oil, etc.)
inside the cart. Contact the City of Pembroke Pines Public
Services Department at 954-450-6900 or consult the web at
www.broward.org/wasteandrecycling for
proper disposal options for HHW materials.
There will be changes to the City's
Household Hazardous Waste Program soon - Please continue to
check our Website.
Please remember to place recycling carts at the curb the night
before your collection day. Collection begins at 7 a.m.
