Your Fort Lauderdale crew
Our Fort Lauderdale crew is based here and works across Broward and into Boca Raton. Much of the work here is in condos and older buildings, where elevators, loading areas, neighbors, and association rules shape the day as much as the rooms do.
Every job starts with a conversation, then a walkthrough with you, then a written plan that says what we’ll do, in what order, and what it costs. On work days we sort with you. Papers, photos, and anything that might matter are set aside for you to see. You decide what stays, what goes, and what waits.

Local knowledge
What’s different about cleanup in Fort Lauderdale
Condos, an older population, and Florida’s access laws shape a lot of the work in Broward.
Condo associations can require access
Florida law gives a condo association a right of access to each unit during reasonable hours for maintenance, repairs, and preventing damage. A notice from the association is often what starts the clock. We can work to the association’s date and keep the work discreet.

Landlords can enter with notice
For repairs, a Florida landlord must give at least 24 hours’ notice and enter between 7:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. A tenant can’t unreasonably refuse. If a repair visit is scheduled, the area around it needs to be reachable.
Cardboard and termites
UF/IFAS notes cockroaches breed prolifically in corrugated cardboard, and that Miami–Fort Lauderdale is the only place in the continental U.S. where two invasive subterranean termite species overlap. Old boxes are usually the first thing worth clearing.

Many households with older adults
About one in five Fort Lauderdale residents is 65 or older. Many calls come from adult children, sometimes out of state, helping a parent stay safely in place or prepare for a move.

Doing some yourself?
Local disposal rules, if you’re clearing some things yourself

Containers stay out of the right-of-way
Fort Lauderdale requires commercial dumpsters to be placed out of the public right-of-way and to come from an authorized hauler. For a residential roll-off, ask the City (954-828-8000) before it’s delivered.

Questions
Questions from Fort Lauderdale families
Which areas does the Fort Lauderdale crew cover?
Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, including Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Plantation, Sunrise, Davie, Coral Springs, Pembroke Pines, and Deerfield Beach, plus Boca Raton. Not listed? Ask, and we’ll tell you plainly whether we can help.
The condo association sent a notice. How do we handle it?
Read it for the date, what they need access to, and who to contact. Then call us with that date. We’ll start with what the association needs to reach, plan around elevators and loading rules, and keep the work quiet. If you’re unsure of your rights, Legal Aid Service of Broward County (opens in a new tab) may be able to help.
Will the neighbors know?
We keep it as quiet as a building allows. You choose what you tell neighbors and staff. We don’t discuss your home with anyone beyond what access requires, and we can plan work days around busy times.
Where can old paint and chemicals go in Fort Lauderdale?
Fort Lauderdale residents use the City’s Saturday drop-off events, not the county sites. Bring proof of residency, and check the City’s current schedule (opens in a new tab). Never pour chemicals down a drain or mix them.
Is there a hoarding task force in Broward?
We couldn’t find one. For an older adult, the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County (954-745-9779) is a good first call. If you’re worried about someone’s safety, the Florida Abuse Hotline takes reports 24/7 at 1-800-962-2873.
