MIAMI BEACH, FL · JUNK REMOVAL
Junk Removal Miami Beach — Historic Buildings, High-Rises, Six Free City Pickups
Miami Beach contracts its own private hauler, Waste Connections of Florida, separate from Miami-Dade County’s countywide program — and residents get six free bulk pickups a year on paper. In practice, strict size limits, bundling rules, and building access restrictions in historic Art Deco structures or high-rise condos often make private junk removal the faster, hassle-free route.

Miami Beach’s Bulk Pickup: Better Allowance, Stricter Item Rules
Through Waste Connections of Florida, Miami Beach residents receive:
- Six free pickups per year. Scheduled directly by calling Waste Connections of Florida (786-515-2726) rather than Miami-Dade 311.
- Strict size & weight limits. Drywall and lumber can’t exceed 5 feet in length or 40 pounds; carpet must be cut to 6-foot lengths or less; yard waste must be bundled in 4-foot sections under 50 lbs, with limbs under 4 inches in diameter.
- 24-hour placement rule. Items can’t be placed at the curb or swale more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup.
- Monthly drop-off events. Free bulk drop-off the first weekend of every month (8:00 AM–6:00 PM) at 140 MacArthur Causeway or 75th Street & Dickens Avenue, with proof of Miami Beach residency.
- Contractor and demolition debris are excluded entirely — along with tree-removal waste, tires, paint, and other chemical/hazardous items. Violations carry fines from $50 to $1,000.
An oversized piece of furniture, an unbundled pile of yard waste, or uncut drywall will get your pickup rejected. Private junk removal skips all the cutting, bundling, and size prep entirely.
Historic Art Deco Buildings Need Extra Care
Miami Beach’s Art Deco Historic District — bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, 6th Street to the south, Alton Road to the west, and the Collins Canal and Dade Boulevard to the north — presents real access challenges. Many of these preserved buildings have narrow original stairwells, tight hallways, small elevators, and strict preservation rules. Our crew hand-carries heavy furniture to avoid scuffing historic walls or fixtures.
High-Rise Condos Need Elevator & COI Coordination
For newer luxury condo towers along Collins Avenue, Ocean Drive, and South of Fifth (SoFi), logistics mirror high-rise protocols in Brickell:
- Certificates of Insurance (COI): Building management typically requires $1,000,000 general liability coverage naming the association as additionally insured.
- Freight elevator reservations: Loading dock and freight elevator time slots need to be booked in advance.
- Restricted move hours: Moving and hauling are typically limited to specific weekday windows.
We generate and submit the COI directly to your property management office so you don’t have to chase paperwork.

- Get your upfront quote. Flat, guaranteed price within 10 minutes — including COI submission and elevator coordination if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many free bulk pickups does the city offer in Miami Beach?
Six per year through Waste Connections of Florida, scheduled directly with the vendor rather than through 311.
What happens if my item exceeds the city’s size limits?

Yes. Our crews are trained to navigate narrow original stairways and tight corridors without damaging historic property.
Do Miami Beach luxury condos require a COI?
