Effective Oct. 1, 2009 Deerfield Beach solid waste, recycling and bulk trash schedules changed
View NEW schedule and map
The City of Deerfield Beach implemented a new garbage, recycling and bulk trash schedule in order to reduce fuel costs, increase efficiency and better serve residents. At the same time, the city's collection service area has expanded to include approximately 2,300 additional homes in the Bonnie Lock and Tedder annexed areas. As a result of this streamlined collection method, some residents will find that their recycling, garbage and bulk trash days have changed. The following neighborhoods were affected in one or more of these collection categories.
- Deer Creek, Deer Point, Deer Chase
- Starlight Cove, Hammocks, Riverglen, Villages of Hillsboro
- Independence Bay, Waterways
- Gibson, Alwood, College Park
- Crystal Lake, Crystal Lake Heights, Waterford, Meadows, Discovery Point
- Tidewater and Pine Tree Mobile Home Parks
- Deer Run
A brochure with the new schedule and an easy to read map was mailed to all customers in October 2009. Or view the brochure here.
For more information, call 954-480-4391.
The Solid Waste and Recycling Divisions wish to thank residents for complying with these necessary and beneficial changes.
