What If My yard Waste is loose? Items such as piles of leaves, small twigs, or other small loose material should be placed in any disposable container. Loose items cannot be picked up by the claw truck. If you are using a plastic bag, make sure it is of sufficient strength that can be safely lifted without breaking.

For safety, place glass items in a disposable box, carton, or crate of sufficient strength that may be lifted while containing its contents.

If the pile exceeds 15 cubic yards, only 15 cubic yards will be taken, and the rest will be tagged.
You will have one week to remove the excessive bulk from your swale to avoid a code violation.
To have the excess items removed and avoid a code violation, you may:
a) Call Waste Management at 954-974-7500, oprtion #3 for a special pickup at $13.07 per cubic yard plus franchise fee for a total of $15.62.
b) Use your green roll out cart to supplement your disposal needs.
c) Remove tagged items from the swale and put out with next month's pickup.

REMEMBER!
Fifteen cubic yards refers to the overall dimensions of bulk on your swale.
To make the most out of your allowable amount , stack everything as neatly and as closely together as possible. (Airspace between items will count towards the 15 cubic yards)
FOR EXAMPLE:
A one cubic yard empty box will count as one cubic yard. If you flatten the box, you will save almost the entire amount.
