Junk removal in Pembroke Pines for the hot tubs and cleanouts bulk day skips

01

What Pembroke Pines bulk pickup takes, and what it leaves behind

Pembroke Pines splits its trash between two companies. Waste Pro picks up household garbage twice a week. Eastern Waste Systems (EWS) handles bulk and yard waste twice a month, on your scheduled bulk day. Bulk and yard waste can share one pile, but it has to be out before 7 a.m. and at least 3 feet from mailboxes, trees, parked cars and overhead wires.

The city caps it at 10 cubic yards per home per pickup. You can ask EWS for up to two extra pickups a year for piles over the limit, and after that it is $15 per cubic yard over.

Then there is what EWS will not take at all: hot tubs and boats (EWS quotes a separate specialized pickup), glass of any kind, hazardous waste, and appliances with Freon unless they are certified purged. A refrigerator also needs its doors and compressor removed. Contractor-generated debris is out too, including tree removals, fencing that needs a permit, and renovations. If it ends up at the curb anyway, EWS may take it for $25 per cubic yard.

Those are the calls Dany gets most from Pembroke Pines: the hot tub nobody uses, the old fridge, and the garage that is far past one pile.

Tear-outs and permits: read this before a remodel

Permits come from the City of Pembroke Pines Building Department at 601 City Center Way, 2nd floor, (954) 435-6502, with submittals online through the Development Hub. The Engineering Division also issues site permits that cover clearing, demucking, fill and demolition. Your GC or you as the property owner pull them. Rapid Haul does non-structural tear-out only.

Pembroke Pines has a rule most cities don't. The city says it has an exclusive franchise agreement with Waste Pro for collecting all construction and demolition debris, and that hiring third-party haulers is not permitted. Contractors may use roll-off containers they own. So debris from permitted demolition here may have to go through the city's franchise hauler. Dany will tell you plainly what applies to your job before you book. He won't try to work around it.

Subdivisions, HOAs and condo communities

Pembroke Pines grew out of dairy farms, and a lot of it was built fast in the 1990s after Hurricane Andrew. The area west of I-75 is mostly subdivisions from that period. 69.6% of homes are owner-occupied, with a median value around $439,500 (Census, 2020 to 2024).

That makes for a familiar set of jobs: two-car garages that filled up, backyard hot tubs and sheds past their life, and whole houses cleared before a sale or a move. HOA rules on piles and work hours vary, so mention yours when you text.
