Curbside Yard Waste & Tree Disposal

Keeping our community clean and safe starts with proper disposal of yard waste. Please review the following guidelines before placing items at the curb.

Yard Waste

• Small waste (leaves, grass, weeds, small branches, shrubbery): Place in clear yard bags only.
• Collection schedule:
  • Garbage Days: Clear bags are collected only if an unused Plantation blue garbage bag is tied to each clear bag.
  • Bulk Pick-Up Days: Clear bags may be set out without attaching blue bags.
• Important: Black trash bags are not allowed and will not be collected. Violations may result in a Code Enforcement notice.

Palm Fronds

• Automated Cart: Palm fronds must fit entirely inside.
• Curbside: Up to five (5) fronds, each no longer than 6 feet, may be placed out with blue bags for pickup.

Large Branches

• Must be tied into bundles.
• Size limit: 6 feet in length, 40 pounds in weight.
• Place bundles next to blue bags on garbage days.

Christmas Trees*

• Curbside Pickup:
  • Trees under 6 feet: Place at the curb with blue bags.
  • Trees over 6 feet: Cut in half before setting out.
• Drop-Off Option: Bring undecorated trees to the Public Works Transfer Station (750 NW 91st Avenue), Monday – Friday, 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
