Garage cleanout in Weston, any month of the year

01

Weston bulk comes four times a year

Weston residents get four bulk collections a year, made by Republic Services in January, April, July and October. Since June 2024 the city has been split into smaller sections, each with its own bulk day that month. You find yours on the City's Solid Waste Collection Schedule map.

If you decide to clear the garage in late October, the next curbside chance is January. The City does offer a separate bulk pickup for an additional fee, booked directly with Republic Services at 954-583-1830. You still have to carry everything out to the curb yourself.

Rapid Haul works any month. The crew carries the garage out, loads the truck in your driveway, and leaves the same day.

What a Weston garage holds that bulk day refuses

Bulk day handles furniture, mattresses, carpets and appliances, and fridges or AC units only after a certified dealer removes the Freon. The City excludes household hazardous waste and electronics, including televisions. Garages are exactly where those end up: the old tube TV, a box of cables and printers, half-empty paint cans, pool chemicals.

Rapid Haul takes the boxes, shelving, bikes, exercise equipment, old furniture and most of the rest. For paint, chemicals and fuel, tell Dany what you have and he will tell you what the crew can take. Broward County lists Weston as a participating city for household hazardous waste at its drop-off centers, so those items have a route even if they cannot ride with us.

• Moving boxes, bins and old paperwork
• Shelving, workbenches and freestanding cabinets
• Treadmills, bikes, kids' gear and sports equipment
• Furniture and mattresses stored for later

Two-car garages, three-plus people, a lot of stuff

Weston is a master-planned city of family homes. Census figures put the average household at 3.16 people, and 73% of homes are owner-occupied. More people and more years in one house in Indian Trace, Bonaventure or Weston Hills usually means a fuller garage.

Bulk day also has placement rules. The City asks that bulk sit where your garbage cart usually goes, by 7 a.m., with three feet of clearance on each side of the cart, and not near trees, mailboxes, overhead obstructions or cars. A packed two-car garage rarely fits in that spot. If your community has an association, it may have its own rules on piles and trucks, so check before the day.

Rapid Haul loads straight from the garage floor to the truck, so there is no pile to place.

What a garage cleanout costs in Weston

Garage cleanouts start at $300. That is a light job, like a few items and boxes along one wall. A one-car garage packed to the ceiling, or a two-car garage you cannot walk into, costs more. Dany looks at your photos and gives one flat number for the crew, loading, hauling and disposal.

Weight moves the price more than volume. Leftover tile, bags of concrete mix or pavers are heavy to carry and to dump; cardboard and plastic bins are light. Take one wide photo from the open door and a close-up of anything heavy. You pay after the job, once you have seen the bare floor.

Self-hauling to the Davie drop-off

Weston residents can use Broward County's Central Residential Drop-off Center at 5490 Reese Road in Davie up to four times a month free of charge, Saturdays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Per the City, it accepts bulky waste including furniture, appliances, yard waste and electronics. Bring a photo ID and a current utility bill or tax notice with your name and address.

The limits are the vehicle and the day. Nothing larger than a full-size 1-ton pickup, no commercial vehicles and no open trailers longer than 8 feet. A full garage is several Saturday runs. Weston is one of Dany's five most frequent cities, so a weekday slot is usually easy. Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM.
