On the ground in Fort Lauderdale
Why do bins in Fort Lauderdale's shaded side yards smell faster than ones in the sun?
Fort Lauderdale's older neighborhoods were not built with garbage in mind. In Victoria Park, Sailboat Bend and Colee Hammock, carts live in tight side yards and shaded alleys between houses built in the 1920s through the 1950s, where there is no sun to dry them out and no breeze to move the smell along. Shade plus humidity is the exact condition that lets a film of organic residue turn into a colony.
On the barrier island and along the finger isles — Harbor Beach, Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista — the problem changes shape. Salt air accelerates corrosion on lids and hinges, and a bin left within a few hundred feet of the Intracoastal collects a sticky, salt-laden grime that a garden hose spreads around rather than removes. Fish scraps from a good day out are a separate category of smell entirely, and a hose does nothing for them.
West of Federal Highway, in Coral Ridge, Imperial Point and Bayview, lot sizes open up and carts usually sit beside the garage on a driveway apron. That is easier to service and easier to keep clean, but it also means the bin sits in full afternoon sun — and a closed plastic cart in a Fort Lauderdale August behaves like an oven. Heat is what drives the odor out into the yard, and heat is also what makes maggots go from eggs to visible in about a day.
We work Fort Lauderdale on collection day itself, after the truck has been through and the carts are empty. Nothing to move, nobody who needs to be home.

Fort Lauderdale questions
Asked and answered
Do you clean bins on the Fort Lauderdale barrier island?
Yes. We service Harbor Beach, the Las Olas isles, and the residential streets east of the Intracoastal. Narrow driveways and gated entries are routine for us — add the access code to the notes when you book online and it goes on the account.
When do you come, relative to my garbage pickup?
On your collection day, after the garbage truck has been, so the cart is empty when we get there. Fort Lauderdale collection days vary by route, so check the City of Fort Lauderdale sanitation calendar for your address and tell us the day — we'll schedule around it.
Where does the dirty water go?
Into a collection tank on our truck or trailer — nothing is left on your property. We work at the curb using our own water supply and tidy the area before we leave. Fort Lauderdale's drains run into the New River and the Intracoastal, so keeping the area clean is worth doing properly.
