Regular household service
Trash and recycling service
Start here for the recurring household collections residents use most often.
Waste Pro collects bagged household garbage twice each week. General route pairs are Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Friday, or Wednesday and Saturday. Place the green cart out after 6 p.m. the night before or by 7 a.m.
Pembroke Pines has suspended separate residential recycling collection citywide. Residents may request a decal to use the blue cart for added mixed solid waste service once weekly for the current monthly fee, but that is not a recycling route.

Local detail that matters
What makes Pembroke Pines service different
Pembroke Pines uses two providers: Waste Pro for household carts and Eastern Waste Systems for twice monthly bulk and yard waste. The suspended recycling program means a blue cart with a paid decal is collected as mixed trash, not as separated recyclables.
Item guidance
What may go in the bulk item pile
Accepted examples
