Junk removal in Medley, for the homes and the businesses around them

01

Medley runs its own trash and bulk, on fixed dates

Medley is not in Miami-Dade County's garbage collection area. The Town collects household garbage itself on Tuesday and Friday, and the county's contractor handles recycling every other week. Bulk trash is picked up two times a month: one Thursday pickup by the Town and one Saturday pickup by Waste Management.

Those dates are fixed. The Town's remaining 2026 dates are Saturday October 31, Thursday November 12, Saturday November 28, Thursday December 10 and Saturday December 26. Bulk goes out the night before and must not be placed out more than 48 hours in advance. If your cleanout falls between dates, the pile either sits in the house or gets hauled.

The Town's schedule also lists what bulk pickup does not take:

• Construction debris
• Concrete and concrete block
• Tires
• Paint, paint cans, batteries, solvents and oils
• Other hazardous materials

Tear-out debris and permits in Medley

Permits in Medley come from the Town of Medley Building and Zoning Department at 7777 NW 72nd Ave, not from the county. The office is open Monday to Wednesday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Thursday until 4:30 pm, and it is closed Fridays. Its forms include a permit application and an owner-builder affidavit. Your GC or you as the owner pull the permit; Rapid Haul does not.

Rapid Haul handles the non-structural tear-out and the haul: cabinets, tile, flooring, drywall and fixtures in a home, or old build-outs and shelving in a business space. Since the Town's bulk pickup refuses construction debris and concrete, and Medley is not on the county's list of places whose residents can use its Trash and Recycling Centers, a private haul is usually the only clean way to get tear-out debris off the property.

A small town with a lot of industry

Medley is home to about 1,056 people. The county describes its land use as primarily industrial and commercial, with limited housing that includes single-family homes and mobile homes, and the Town calls itself "The Perfect Location for Industrial Development." There are about 422 housing units across roughly 4.3 square miles.

That mix shapes the calls. A mobile home or house cleanout here is a residential job, and the Town's bulk rules apply. An office, shop or warehouse space is a commercial job, and the Town bulk pickup does not cover it at all. Either way, Dany prices it from a photo or a quick look, and the debris leaves with the crew instead of waiting for the next Thursday or Saturday date.

Housing in Medley is spread among industrial sites like the Titan America Pennsuco Cement Plant and a Rinker plant, and 8.1% of units sat vacant at the 2020 count. When a unit is cleared out, the contents leave either on a Town bulk date or with a private hauler.

How it works and what it costs

Rapid Haul is based in Hollywood and covers Miami-Dade as a main service area. Text a photo to (754) 249-1015, and Dany sends one flat price covering labor, loading, hauling and disposal. Same-day pickup is often possible when you call early, Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.

Junk removal is paid after the job. Jobs of $1,000 and over, mostly tear-out work, take a 50% deposit.
