Does The Hammocks pick up bulk junk?

Mattress removal in The Hammocks fights one County rule that catches first-time set-outs every week: every mattress placed at the curb for Miami-Dade DSWM bulky pickup must be FULLY ENCASED in a plastic mattress disposal bag/sleeve sealed with weather-resistant tape. Non-compliance carries a $100 fine that the County actively enforces through 2025-2026 bulky inspections. Box springs are exempt. A queen mattress + box spring + bed frame still has to ride a scheduled appointment under the post-April 1, 2023 Bulky Appointment System (online or 311 / 305-468-5900), the pile can sit at the curb no more than 3 days early, and households get only 2 free pickups per calendar year. Heavy hybrid kings, latex kings, and motorized adjustable bases routinely exceed the 150-lb single-item cap and force private routing regardless. The free self-haul fallback is one of 13 TRCs daily 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. (Sunset Kendall, Snapper Creek, South Miami Heights are closest), where the bag rule does NOT apply - but it still means a vehicle that fits the mattress, a 2-person lift, and a visit inside business hours. LoadUp's Hammocks page starts a single bulky item at $65; 1-800-GOT-JUNK Miami runs a volume-based on-site quote after the truck arrives. Dropcurb starts at $79, locks the price online, and clears the queen, king, twin, full, box spring, and bed frame from your curb same-day - no bag, no tape, no 311 call. Curb it. We disappear it by tonight.

City program details: Miami-Dade DSWM gives single-family households 2 free bulky pickups per calendar year (25 cu yd each), and mattresses are accepted on the bulky stream - but every mattress placed at the curb must be FULLY ENCASED in a plastic mattress disposal bag/sleeve sealed with weather-resistant tape. Non-compliance carries a $100 fine that the County actively enforces through 2025-2026 bulky inspections. Box springs are exempt from the bag rule. The 96-gal green garbage cart will not haul a mattress. Bulky pickups are scheduled (no walk-up): residents must book online or via 311 (305-468-5900) under the post-April 1, 2023 Bulky Appointment System before placing the mattress at the curb; appointments are bookable 30 days out, the pile may be staged no more than 3 days in advance, and pre-set-out triggers code-enforcement warnings up to civil citations. Single-item weight cap on bulky is 150 lb - a heavy hybrid king, latex king, or motorized adjustable base routinely exceeds 150 lb and must route through a private hauler. Excess yardage above the 25-cu-yd-per-pickup cap runs $32/cu yd with a signed Excess Yardage Approval form. The free self-haul alternative is one of 13 Trash & Recycling Centers (TRCs) open daily 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. - the bagging requirement does NOT apply at the TRC counter. The three closest TRCs to The Hammocks are Sunset Kendall (8000 SW 107th Ave, ~6 mi NE), Snapper Creek (2200 SW 117th Ave, ~7 mi N), and South Miami Heights (20800 SW 117th Ct, ~7 mi SE). Bedding, sheets, and pillows are NOT bulky - those go in regular trash. Fee structure: bulky service is bundled into the annual non-ad valorem solid-waste assessment ($641/household/yr in FY2024) - there is no per-pickup fee for in-policy collection.

The Hammocks is an 8.10-sq-mi unincorporated planned community in Miami-Dade County, ~6 mi west of Kendall and ~18 mi southwest of downtown Miami, ZIPs 33186 and 33196, bordered by The Crossings to the east, Kendall West and Kendale Lakes to the north, and Three Lakes to the south. Mattress disposal rides one County rule and one self-haul fallback. The rule: every mattress at the curb for DSWM bulky pickup must be encased in a plastic mattress disposal bag sealed with weather-resistant tape - $100 fine for non-compliance, box springs exempt. Pickups are scheduled, not walk-up, under the post-April 1, 2023 Bulky Appointment System (online or 311 / 305-468-5900); the pile may be staged no more than 3 days in advance, and households get 2 free pickups per calendar year (25 cu yd each, $32/cu yd over). Single-item weight cap is 150 lb - heavy hybrid kings, latex kings, and motorized adjustable bases exceed the cap and must route through a private hauler. The fallback: free drop-off at one of 13 Trash & Recycling Centers, daily 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., with proof of Miami-Dade residency - the bag rule does NOT apply at TRC drop-off. The three closest to The Hammocks are Sunset Kendall (8000 SW 107th Ave, ~6 mi NE), Snapper Creek (2200 SW 117th Ave, ~7 mi N), and South Miami Heights (20800 SW 117th Ct, ~7 mi SE). Mattresses kept in the County bulky stream typically land at North Dade Landfill (21500 NW 47th Ave, Class III, daily 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. - haulers and permitted landscapers only, not walk-in residents). Bedding, sheets, and pillows are NOT bulky - they go in regular trash. The annual solid-waste assessment runs $641/household/yr (FY2024); bulky and illegal-dumping enforcement is bundled at $28 of that, not billed per pickup. Original buyers from the late-1980s through 2000s buildout are now at the downsize / bedroom-refresh stage; the 79.4% Hispanic / 57.1% foreign-born population and 37.3% renter share keep mattress turnover steady across The Crossings, Country Walk, Kendale Lakes, and Three Lakes.

Dropcurb picks up bulk junk same-day in The Hammocks for $79 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.

The Hammocks: a mattress at the curb without a sealed plastic bag is a $100 fine.

Miami-Dade DSWM's curbside bulky stream takes mattresses - but on terms most first-time set-outs miss. Every mattress placed at the curb must be FULLY ENCASED in a plastic mattress disposal bag/sleeve sealed with weather-resistant tape, and non-compliance is a $100 fine actively enforced through 2025-2026 bulky inspections. Box springs are exempt from the bag rule. Pickups are scheduled, not walk-up, under the post-April 1, 2023 Bulky Appointment System (online or 311 / 305-468-5900); the pile may be staged no more than 3 days early, and households get 2 free pickups per calendar year. Single-item weight cap is 150 lb - heavy hybrid kings, latex kings, and motorized adjustable bases exceed the cap and force private routing. The free self-haul fallback at one of 13 TRCs (Sunset Kendall, Snapper Creek, South Miami Heights are closest) skips the bag rule but assumes a vehicle that fits the mattress, a 2-person lift, and a visit inside daily 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. hours. LoadUp's Hammocks page starts a single bulky item at $65; 1-800-GOT-JUNK Miami runs a volume-based on-site quote after the truck arrives. Dropcurb is the same-day, fixed-price alternative - $79 starting, locked at checkout.

What happens to your junk after pickup

Bulk junk is sorted at the facility into recyclable, donatable, and disposable categories. Metals, wood, cardboard, and plastics are separated for recycling. Usable items (furniture, working electronics, household goods) are donated to local charities when possible. Construction debris like drywall, lumber, and concrete is processed at specialized construction & demolition recycling facilities. Items that can't be recycled or donated are disposed of at licensed solid waste facilities. Our haulers make every effort to minimize landfill waste.

Why The Hammocks residents choose Dropcurb for junk removal

A mattress at the curb without a sealed plastic bag is a $100 fine. A heavy hybrid king or motorized adjustable base over 150 lb is rejected outright by the bulky truck. The free TRC route works without the bag - but only with proof of residency, a vehicle that fits the mattress, a 2-person lift, and a visit before 5:30 p.m. The post-April 1, 2023 Bulky Appointment System requires booking online or via 311 (305-468-5900) before the mattress goes to the curb, with no more than 3 days of pre-curb staging, and the household only gets 2 free pickups per calendar year - one mistimed set-out burns half the year's allotment. LoadUp's published Hammocks floor is $65 for a single bulky item with a $5 curbside discount; 1-800-GOT-JUNK Miami quotes the job after the truck arrives. Dropcurb starts at $79, locks the price online, and clears the queen, king, twin, full, box spring, and bed frame from your curb same-day - no bag, no tape, no appointment, no 311 call, no in-person estimate, no 4-hour arrival window, no walk-through. Stage the mattress where the truck can reach it and a photo confirmation lands when it is gone.
