Garbage is picked at all normal times accept on Christmas.

Since the change over to the automated service this past summer Pembroke Pines residents trash service dates will remain the same and the new trash carts are very sturdy and manageable. Easy moveable containers also now have wheels.

The cart's heavy duty material is strong enough to withstand animals knocking them over and include a moisture seal, which will help eliminate odor.

-Trash Cart weight limits: 35 gallon- 125 lbs, 65 gallon- 220 lbs, 95 gallon- 340 lbs

Additional Service information

-Service Dates: Stays the same: Pick-up twice a week, Recycling once a week and Bulk Pick up once a month.

-Monthly Trash Fee: Pembroke Pines has one of the lowest fees in Broward County - $18.22 per month. Residents may opt for second trash cart for a fee of $3 per month.

In April, residents were asked to choose which of the three different size trash cart containers they wished to use. Most people selected the largest cart available. Other cities that provide Automated Trash Pick Up are as follows:Cooper City, Davie, Hollywood, Ft. Lauderdale, Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes and Plantation Acres
