Local Tips & Community Info
Turning Your Scrap into Bucks Right Here in Dania Beach!
Got some old metal or cans gathering dust? Instead of letting them become clutter, check out local scrap yards that might pay you cash! While Dania Beach doesn't have a specific buyback center right in town, Broward County has several options. Places like Southern Scrap Metal or Metal Supermarkets in nearby Fort Lauderdale are known to purchase various metals. Remember to call ahead to see what they accept and their current prices. For those soda and water bottles, Florida has a statewide nickel redemption program. You can often return these to larger grocery stores or dedicated redemption centers throughout the county to get your money back. It's a win-win: you clear out unwanted items and pocket some extra cash!
Giving Your Good Stuff a Second Life, Dania Beach Style
Before tossing out furniture, clothes, or household items that are still in good shape, think about donating them! In the Dania Beach area, Habitat for Humanity ReStores are fantastic options. They have a location in Pompano Beach that accepts furniture, appliances, and building materials, helping fund affordable housing projects. You can also explore local thrift stores or churches that might be looking for donations to support their own community programs. It’s a wonderful way to help others and keep perfectly good items out of the landfill.

How strict is the bulk waste limit during my monthly pickup?
The city strictly enforces its bulk pickup limit of six cubic yards per household, which is roughly the size of six washing machines. Placing items curbside more than 24 hours in advance or exceeding the volume limit can result in a fine issued to the property owner, plus the cost of removal.
