Public Works Department

• Information & Resources

General Information

Public Works, located just off Cleary Boulevard, is a service provider to the many residents who live in Plantation and to all of the City departments. Comprised of roughly 100 employees, our staff is divided into seven different divisions, all of which function together as the backbone to the City’s daily operations. We are a wonderful example of capitalizing on internal resources to perform daily tasks that normally would require outsourcing at considerable expense.

Aside from our daily responsibilities that include new construction, remodeling and repairs, plumbing, electrical and janitorial maintenance, painting and carpentry, landscaping, irrigation and weed control, storm water drainage, roadways cleaning and maintenance, vehicle maintenance and repairs, and traffic sign maintenance, we also provide the following services:

• SOLID WASTE
  • Collection Services
  • Bulk and Yard Waste Pick Up
  • Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Annual Collection Event
    
• RECYCLING
  • Collection Services
  • Drop-Off Center
  • Horticultural Center
  • Paint-It-Broward Recycled Paint Program
    
• OTHER IMPORTANT BROWARD COUNTY INFORMATION
  • Electronic Recycling
  • Residential Trash Transfer Station
  • Landfill

Working behind the scenes and around the clock, our goal is to provide these services in a professional, courteous and expedient manner. The daily efforts of the Public Works department is so much a part of life and living that it is sometimes taken for granted. A well-run Public Works program may not be particularly conspicuous to the public; only in its’ absence is it suddenly missed and its’ importance understood.

So, when the flowers bloom and the trees are trimmed, when the road is smooth and the bridges stand strong, when the stop sign is bright and the street markings help you along your travels, and when the drainage systems work properly preventing damage to your most prized possessions, know that IT is YOUR Public Works Department at work!
