Quarterly Bulk Pickup

The City of Weston residents receive four bulk trash collections annually. Collection is made by Republic Services, the provider of garbage and recycling collection.

Effective June 3, 2024, collection dates for garbage, recycling and bulk trash changed. Bulk trash collection will still take place during the months of January, April, July and October; however, the City of Weston is now divided into smaller sections that will be serviced for bulk trash on a specific day of the month.

Some Bulk collection days experience above-average volume generation. Please be patient as it will be collected.  The new service collection schedule should help to alleviate delays.

Bulk items include, but are not limited to:

• Furniture
• Mattresses and carpets and other large household items
• Large and small appliances such as dishwashers, laundry machines, and stoves
• Refrigerators or air conditioners must have Freon removed by a certified dealer
• Mirrors, glass, glass tabletops, windowpanes, and plate glass items should be placed in a rigid container or wrapped to facilitate safe collection
• Vegetative waste generated by the residential homeowner only (not by landscaping companies.)

Items not picked up on your collection day, will be picked up the following day.

NOT COLLECTED:  Bulk items DO NOT include contractor-generated material, or household hazardous waste or electronics items, including televisions or electronics.

If there are any issues with your bulk trash collection, please contact Public Works at solidwaste@westonfl.org.

You can learn more about collection services by visiting our Household Hazardous Waste Disposal and Electronics Recycling page.

Bulk Trash Collection Guidelines

Bulk items should be placed at or near the same location where you usually place your garbage cart by 7 a.m. on the day of your bulk collection service. 

Follow the following guidelines to ensure for an efficient collection of your bulk items:

• Your garbage cart should have a clearance of three (3) feet on each side of your bulk trash pile, if on the same day. This will ensure that it will not be in the way of the bulk collection and will also ensure that your garbage will be picked up on that day.
• Do not place bulk items near overhead obstructions, trees, mailboxes, or automobiles.
• Do not place bulk items inside commercial container enclosures, in front of commercial containers, behind gates, or in any manner that would limit the regular garbage service you receive.
• Refrigerators or air conditioners must have Freon removed by a certified dealer
• Mirrors, glass, glass tabletops, windowpanes, and plate glass items should be placed in a rigid container to facilitate safe collection.

If you have any questions regarding the placement of bulk trash items, please contact Republic Services at 954-583-1830.

Special Bulk Pickup Collection

Special Collections are available if you have a large amount of unbundled vegetation or bulk waste items to dispose of any other time of year. A special collection can be scheduled for an additional fee. Contact Republic Services at 954-583-1830 to learn more or to schedule.

Think Before You Throw - Consider Donating Items

Help those in need, keep items out of the waste stream, and get a tax deduction.  Several national organizations will even pick-up directly from your residence - you don't have to wait for bulk pick-up day!

There are many local, well-established charitable organizations that readily accept donated items.  Don't forget pets - many pet shelters are in need of sheets and towels on a regular basis.
