In preparation for the upcoming 2008 hurricane season (June 1-November 30), Broward County residents can dispose of residential yard waste at no charge at the county’s three trash transfer stations every Saturday, April 5 to September 27, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The free service is available to residents of all Broward County municipalities except Pembroke Pines, Parkland, Pompano Beach, and Hallandale Beach, which are not Broward County Resource Recovery partners. Proof of Broward County residency is required. Acceptable materials include tree trimmings and residential yard waste, such as lawn and landscape items, and fencing. Scrap metal items will also be accepted, as long as they are kept separate from other items. Debris brought in on commercial vehicles, by private contractors, or on trailers longer than 8 feet will not be accepted.
Yard waste will be collected at:
- 2780 N. Powerline Road, Pompano Beach
- 5490 Reese Road, Davie
- 5601 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd, West Park
