Bulk Trash Collection
The City of Oakland Park provides bulk trash collection for its residents. The city is divided into four zones and bulk trash is collected on either the first, second, third or fourth Monday. Zone 1 is collected during the first week, Zone 2 is collected during the second week, and so on. You get the idea!
If you do not know which zone you live in, consult the zone boundaries map below. You can also download and print a copy by clicking on the link below the map.
Bulk Trash Do's and Dont's
It is not, however, always clear what we can and can’t throw out with our bulk trash. Below is outlined some hard and fast rules for bulk trash collection that will keep you in compliance and out of trouble with code enforcement.
It is important to note that when there are 5 Mondays in a month, on the 5th Monday bulk trash will not be collected.
