Effective March 31, 2006, Sunrise residents will benefit from improved garbage and recycling collection service - including monthly bulk trash pick-up. Please read the highlights of the new service, as well as review the information below regarding current sanitation policies and schedules.
The City of Sunrise provides residential recycling pick-up once each week. Please review the information on this page regarding:
Collection Guidelines Items accepted for pick-up are newspapers with inserts; corrugated cardboard; phone books (March through May only) metal cans; brown, green or uncolored glass containers; plastic containers of any color, marked 1, 2 or 3; and milk and juice cartons.
Unacceptable materials include blue glass; plastic bags or wrap; light bulbs; aerosol cans; junk mail; flower pots and garden plastics; aluminum foil or pie pans; foam containers; and magazines.
All corrugated cardboard must be broken down, folded or cut into the same size as newspapers, or included with newspapers.
Metal, glass and plastic materials must be rinsed out. Plastic bottles must be flattened and their lids removed.
Recyclables - with the exception of newspaper and cardboard - may be mixed in the bins provided. Newspaper and cardboard must be placed in a brown paper bag, or tied and placed in a recycling bin. Plastic packaging material must first be removed from newspaper.
Wet newspaper and cardboard will not be collected: On rainy days, please protect these items with a garbage can lid or other cover.
All recyclables should be placed curbside by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled pick-up day, but no earlier than 7:00 p.m. the previous evening. Bins may be placed outside even if they are half full.
