City of Miami weekly bulky trash collection: toilets, bathtubs, and sinks
Free, with a step firstA toilet or sink from your home is generally collected as a household item; remodel loads are construction debris. Confirm with Solid Waste at 311.
Who qualifies: Households with City of Miami Solid Waste service. Unincorporated Miami-Dade County has a separate program (2 appointment pickups a year of 25 cubic yards).
How to schedule: No appointment. The city collects bulky trash once a week on your scheduled bulky day; look up your address at miami.gov. Residents can also take one pickup-truck load per day to the city Mini Dump with proof of residency.
Limits: Bundles tied no more than 3 feet long. Keep yard trash separate from garbage and recycling. Mini Dump: one trip per day, one pickup-truck load.
Set-out: At the curb in front of your home, clear of drains, meters, and cars, by 7 a.m. on your bulky trash day.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)

How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering toilets, bathtubs, and sinks, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.

Why toilets, bathtubs, and sinks are different from ordinary bulk. Porcelain is the sticking point. A whole toilet or pedestal sink is heavy, awkward, and shatters into sharp pieces, so many bulk crews refuse them intact. Some cities accept porcelain if it is broken into pieces and bagged or boxed; others route it to the transfer station as inert C&D material. Clean porcelain is actually recyclable as aggregate, and a growing number of regions accept it at concrete recyclers.
Three mistakes that get toilets, bathtubs, and sinks left at the curb:
When the city classifies fixtures as C&D and no scrap or donation route fits, paid options are the only legal path.
Self-haul to a transfer station or C&D recycler
$10 to $40Transfer stations accept fixtures as C&D by weight or by load. Clean porcelain is accepted at some concrete and aggregate recyclers for less. Break porcelain into bagged pieces to make it easy to handle.
Line the vehicle. Porcelain shards will cut carpet and tires.
LoadUp paid toilet or bathtub pickup
$80+For households who can’t use the free options or need same-week service, LoadUp offers professional removal in Miami-Dade with upfront pricing. Independent loaders in the marketplace handle pickup, loading, and licensed disposal, rates typically 20-30% below national competitors.

Can I put an old toilet out with bulk trash?
It depends on the city. Some accept toilets and sinks with bulk pickup, some accept only broken porcelain in bags with regular trash, and many classify fixtures as construction debris and exclude them. Check the directory below for your city.
Is porcelain recyclable?
Yes, as inert aggregate. Crushed toilets and sinks become road base and fill. Some transfer stations and concrete recyclers accept clean porcelain for less than general C&D rates, and some water utilities run toilet recycling drop-offs.
How do I get a cast iron tub out of a second-floor bathroom?
Either hire scrappers or movers who handle the weight, or break it. Cover the tub with a heavy blanket, wear eye protection, gloves, and long sleeves, and strike the side near the drain with a sledgehammer; cast iron cracks into pieces that two people can carry. Clean up the enamel chips, which are sharp.
Will a ReStore take a used toilet?
Most will if it is a 1.6 gpf or lower model, uncracked, clean, and complete with tank lid and seat. Some require the WaterSense 1.28 gpf label. Older 3.5 gpf toilets are generally refused.
Is this Miami page maintained?
Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Miami guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
