- Place bulk waste items curbside in a neat and orderly manner before 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. Collection will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Bulk piles should be placed in a location that facilitates safe collection. Please place bulk pile away from cars, mailboxes, trees, and overhead wires.
- Tree trimmings, branches, and palm fronds should be arranged in a neat and orderly manner curbside.
- Tree trunks, logs, and large limbs should be stacked neatly at the curb and should not exceed 5’ in length or 75lbs in weight.

Residential Drop-Off Center
Broward County Residential Drop-Off Centers (RDOC) has resumed collection for bulk trash, yard waste, and electronics recycling at its locations. Due to COVID-19, Davie residents may only utilize the Central Residential Drop-Off Center located at 5490 Reese Road, Davie, FL 33313, for bulk disposal on January 2, 2021. Thereafter, Davie residents will be scheduled to use the Central Residential Drop-Off Center every other Saturday.
This alternating schedule is necessary to allow County staff to follow CDC guidelines for social distancing by only accepting a manageable number of residents at a given time. The schedule will be reevaluated and updated in January 2021. Please note that the County has made operational changes:
- Abbreviated hours every Saturday from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. until further notice.
- Only two individuals per vehicle will be allowed to unload their bulk/yard waste at the RDOC.
- Residents will be required to wear a face-covering while unloading bulk/yard waste at the RDOC.
Residents utilizing the facility must bring proof of residency (photo ID and a document that shows your official address such as a tax bill, TRIM notices, voter registration, utility bill, or another official government-issued document).
Residents will be required to follow CDC guidelines for social distancing and other safety measures which will be communicated through posted signage located throughout the Centers.
