Hollywood Bulk Trash Pickup Rules
Hollywood picks up bulk trash once a month from single-family homes and duplexes, up to 6 cubic yards a pickup, through Waste Pro. The city does not take construction materials, tires or yard waste in the bulk pile, and it does not serve condos or apartment buildings. Junky Jan hauls what the city leaves behind.

When is bulk trash pickup in Hollywood?
Once a month, on a set weekday in a set week, depending on where you live. The city splits Hollywood into 30 bulk pickup zones, and Waste Pro works each one on its own day. Junky Jan gets asked this more than any other question, and the answer is on the city's sanitation page, which links a map of every zone.
You can also call Waste Pro on 954-967-4200 or the city's Environmental Services office on 954-967-4320 and give them your address. Write the day down once you have it: a pile that goes out a week early sits at the curb for most of a month, and that is how fines start.
Hollywood bulk pickup rules at a glance
These are the four numbers that decide whether the city's pickup will work for your pile. Each one comes from the City of Hollywood's own pages.
All of Hollywood's bulk pickup rules
| Who collects | Waste Pro, under a city contract to 2029 |
|---|---|
| Who it covers | Single-family homes and duplexes only. Condos, apartments and businesses must hire a city-permitted private hauler |
| How often | Once a month, by zone (30 zones) |
| How much | 6 cubic yards per pickup |
| Over the limit | If the city removes an oversized pile: $200 processing fee plus $50 per cubic yard over the limit |
| What it won't take | Construction materials (drywall, tile, concrete, wooden fencing, glass, dirt), tires, paint and chemicals. Yard waste goes out separately, weekly, up to 4 cubic yards |
| Appliances | Refrigerators need the doors and Freon removed |
| When to put it out | No more than 24 hours before pickup, in the alley if you have one, otherwise on the swale |
From the city and county pages, read September 2026: source 1 · source 2 · source 3. Rules change; check the city before you set anything out.
How much bulk trash can you put out in Hollywood?
Six cubic yards per pickup. That is 162 cubic feet, which is a pile about 9 feet long, 6 feet wide and 3 feet high. A sofa, a mattress set, a dresser and a few chairs fit inside it. The contents of a garage do not.
The city's page is blunt about bigger piles: "oversized piles will not be removed." If the city does end up removing one, the property owner is charged a $200 processing fee plus $50 for each cubic yard over the limit. Splitting a big pile across two months works if you have somewhere to keep the second half. If you do not, that is a job for a hauler.
What does Hollywood bulk pickup take?
Household furniture and appliances. The city lists these by name:
- Stoves and dishwashers
- Dressers, desks and chairs
- Mattresses
- Refrigerators, with the doors and the Freon removed
What won't Hollywood bulk pickup take?
Anything from a renovation, and anything hazardous. The city's list of refused construction materials is long: drywall, cinder block, brick, floor or bathroom tile, roofing tile or shingles, concrete, wooden fencing, glass, rocks, plumbing materials, wiring and dirt. It also refuses paint, tires, used oil, chemicals, propane tanks, and car and boat parts.
Wooden fencing surprises people, because some nearby cities take a few sections. Hollywood takes none. Refrigerators are accepted only with the doors off and the refrigerant already removed, which means paying a technician before the pickup. See appliance removal if you would rather hand over the whole job.
Yard waste is a separate service. Since October 2020 the city has collected it weekly, up to 4 cubic yards, with limbs cut to 4 feet or shorter, and the city's FAQ says no yard waste may be mixed into the bulk pile. Landscapers have to haul away what they cut.
Where and when to put bulk trash out in Hollywood
No more than 24 hours before your pickup day. Put it in the alley if your block has one, and on the swale if it does not. Keep the pile clear of mailboxes, parked cars and low branches so the truck's claw can reach it.
A pile set out early or in the wrong place gets a notice. The owner has 24 hours to fix it. After that the city can remove it and charge the disposal cost plus a $200 administration fee. Civil citations start at $75 and rise to $150, $250 and then $500 for repeat violations.
Do condos and apartments get bulk pickup in Hollywood?
No. The monthly bulk pickup serves single-family homes and duplexes only. The city's page for multi-family properties and businesses calls that side an open market: each building arranges its own collection. If you live in a condo, your association's rules decide where a sofa or a mattress can go, and most buildings want it taken out through the service elevator at a booked time. Our condo junk removal page covers how those pickups run.
Where do the things Hollywood won't take go?
Most of them go to a Broward County site. Hollywood's disposal directory sends residents to the county's South drop-off center in West Park, open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with proof of Hollywood residency. Our Broward County drop-off guide lists every site and what each one refuses.
| What you have | Where it goes |
|---|---|
| Paint, chemicals, used oil, electronics | Broward's South drop-off center, 5601 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd, West Park. Saturdays, with proof of Hollywood residency |
| Lumber and other woody material | The same drop-off center |
| Rocks, dirt, concrete and other construction debris | Broward County Landfill, 7101 SW 205th Ave, for a fee. Call 954-765-4999 for directions |
| Branches and clippings | The city's weekly yard waste pickup, kept apart from the bulk pile |
| A pile over 6 cubic yards | Split across two pickups, or a private hauler |
