Coastal will deliver one blue 65-gallon recycling cart and one green 95-gallon trash cart to every home with cart service within the city limits starting on October 15, 2024 free of charge. The carts will be delivered in two phases. Each phase is expected to take up to four weeks to complete, so please be patient if your neighbor receives their new cart and you have not yet received yours.
- Blue recycle cart distribution will begin on October 15.
- Green garbage cart distribution will begin on November 12.
What do I do with my old carts?
Continue to use your old carts until the new ones arrive. Please start using your new carts as soon as you receive them. Leave your old carts out at the curb (empty of material) until retrieved. Old cart pickup will begin immediately after new carts are received, but may take up to three days in some instances.
Can I change the size of my cart? Is there a charge?
Residents may request a different size recycling or trash cart. One request per cart may be submitted free of charge; however, subsequent requests may result in additional costs. Keep in mind that special cart requests may not be accommodated until after the initial citywide cart exchange process is complete, anticipated to be on or after December 2024.
Who do I contact if my new bin is damaged or my cart becomes damaged?
Please contact Coastal Waste & Recycling at 954-866-4738 or submit a ticket to the Coastal Portal to report either a new cart that is damaged or a cart that becomes damaged.
What if I previously purchased an additional cart from WastePro? Will I be charged again?
Residents who purchased an additional cart from WastePro may request an additional replacement cart free of charge. Keep in mind that special cart requests may not be accommodated until after the initial citywide cart exchange process is complete, anticipated to be on or after December 2024.
Can I purchase a second cart?
Residents may purchase a second cart, if desired, by contacting Coastal Waste & Recycling at 954-866-4738 or submitting a ticket to the Coastal Portal. The fee for a new cart is $65. Keep in mind residents will be responsible for storing and adhering to city code for any cart that they own. Residents may incur an additional cost for replacement or repair if the cart becomes damaged.
What If my cart gets lost or stolen?
Residents whose carts become lost or stolen should file a written complaint with the Coral Springs Police Department, then provide a copy of the complaint when requesting a new cart from Coastal. Failure to provide a copy of a written complaint when requesting a new cart may result replacement costs and/or delivery charges that would be the responsibility of the resident.
