Collection Time
Please do not count on your collection time being the same every day. Collection times will vary based on traffic, the amount of materials collected, and potential changes in routing. You risk missing your pick-up if you do not place your container out by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled pick-up day. The container cannot be emptied if it is not outside by the specified time and placed properly at the edge of the street with the handle facing your home.
Bulk Waste
Bulk Waste is collected by Eastern Waste Systems (E.W.S.).
All inquiries and missed pickup calls should be directed to E.W.S. at 954-543-9800.
Curbside Waste and Recycling Collection
All containers must have 3 feet of clearance on all sides. They must be placed at a minimum of 6 feet from vehicles, boats, mailboxes, light poles, or fences. There must be 15 feet overhead clearance from trees and wires. The handle should be facing your home with the container placed at the curb 3 feet or less from the roads edge.
Garbage Carts
Garbage is collected twice a week. All garbage must be placed inside the cart with the lid closed.
Roll your cart to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on collection day. The cart handle must face away from the street, with the lid opening facing the roadway. Return your cart to its storage area that same day.
- Please bag all garbage to keep carts clean and odor-free.
- Only City-provided carts will be collected. Resident-owned cans or containers WILL NOT be serviced.
- Any material left outside of the cart or placed on top of the cart WILL NOT be collected.
Recycling Carts
Recycling is collected once a week. Cooper City offers its residents “single-stream” recycling. This means all recyclable material can be placed in the cart together.
ALL recyclable material must be placed in your cart loosely, not bagged. Acceptable recyclable materials include aluminum and tin cans; glass bottles and jars; plastic bottles; magazines; newspapers; and flattened cardboard.
Roll your cart to the curb by 7:00 a.m. on collection day. The cart handle must face away from the street, with the lid opening facing the roadway. Return your cart to its storage area that same day.
Lost or Stolen Cart
If your cart is damaged or stolen, you can make a request for replacement with our customer service team by emailing, calling or submitting a request through the customer service portal at. There is no charge to the resident for cart replacements. It is not necessary to obtain a police report for a stolen cart.
Hurricane Preparedness
Prior to the storm's arrival, safely secure your garbage and recycling carts inside your garage or residence. Garbage and recycling service may be suspended during this time. After the storm, separate vegetative waste (trees and shrubs) from other bulky items and garbage. Normal garbage and recycling collection service will resume as soon as roads are accessible.
Holiday Collection
Christmas Day (December 25th) is the only holiday that waste services are suspended. If your service day falls on December 25th, your garbage and/or recycling will be collected on the next regularly scheduled collection day.
