GARBAGE COLLECTION

Garbage collection is utilized throughout the City. All single-family or duplex residents receive one gray, garbage container for their use. Contact Customer Service at 954-967-4200 for more information. Only the City of Hollywood-issued gray cart can be picked up by the trucks.

Location and placement of cart:

	•	All garbage must be BAGGED and TIED before placing inside the cart.
	•	The arrow located on the lid and metal bar on front of container should be facing out into the street or alley ready for collection.
	•	The lid must be closed so the garbage will not spill on the ground when emptied. Nothing can be placed on top of the closed lid.
	•	Place cart closer to the street or the truck WILL NOT be able to reach the garbage container, and it WILL NOT be emptied.
	•	All garbage to be collected MUST be placed inside the container.
	•	Do not place anything on top of closed lid or on the ground around the cart, as this will stop the driver from emptying the container.
	•	Place the cart in an OPEN SPACE or at least THREE FEET from all mailboxes, fences, telephone or FPL poles or trees. Also be sure that no vehicles are blocking the cart. If so, it will not be emptied.
	•	Your cart should be placed out the night before or by 6:30 a.m. on the day of collection and returned to storage by sunset on the day of collection.

Acceptable Garbage:
All kitchen and table refuse, paper, rags, paperboard (cookie & cereal boxes) and food scraps.

Unacceptable Garbage:

1. No brush debris or hard junk is allowed in container (an occasional palm frond or branch will be picked up as long as the lid on the cart still closes).
All material placed in cart must be bagged and tied.
2. No rocks, metal, flammable substances, medical waste, liquids, dead animals, sewage, manure and radioactive materials.
3. Construction and demolition debris such as lumber, drywall, tile, and concrete can be taken to the Broward County Landfill, 7101 S.W. 205 Avenue (located at Sheridan Street and US 27). The telephone number is 954-680-0095 or 954-680-0087.

4. Household Hazardous Waste and chemicals cannot be put into your garbage container. When the solid waste crew empties your container into the truck and compacts the contents of the truck, the hazardous waste can react with other materials and cause injury. Pool chemicals pesticides, bleach, auto fluids and other household cleaners must be disposed of at the Household Hazardous Waste Drop Off located at 5601 W. Hallandale Beach Boulevard every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information, please call 954-765-4999.

REDUCING YOUR GARBAGE VOLUME:

The City of Hollywood encourages you to recycle  to help reduce your garbage volume. At your request, the City will issue a 95 gallon blue recycling cart. It costs less to dispose of acceptable recyclable materials as recycling than to dispose of them as garbage.

BUT WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?:
 

	•	Call animal control at 954-359-1313 ext. 400 to report dead animals.
	•	Broken glass should be put into a rigid container (such as a large tin can or cardboard box) sealed and then placed into an acceptable garbage container.
	•	Rocks, roofing materials, dirt and construction debris can be taken to the Broward County Landfill. There is a fee, call 954-680-0087 for directions and fee schedule.

SAFETY:

Household hazardous waste and chemicals cannot be put into the garbage. We have had several incidents in past years, where residents have put chemicals in the garbage.

When the Solid Waste Crew throws the garbage into the truck and compacts it, it can react with other materials and cause injury. Pool chemicals, pesticides, bleach, auto fluids and other household cleaners must be disposed of at the Household Hazardous Waste Drop Off located at 5601 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd. It is open every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Call Broward County for details, 954-765-4999.
