The Town Council has approved the renewal of an incentive program that waives fees for the collection and disposal of Ficus hedges from private property, subject to certain conditions. To qualify, property owners must pre-schedule a pickup on a first-come, first-served basis by contacting the Public Works Department at 561-838-5440. Any replacement hedging must consist of Florida native plants. 

This service will begin on May 16, 2026, and will be available on six pre-scheduled Saturdays throughout May and June. Please note that service will not be provided over Memorial Day weekend (May 23, 2026). 

Participation in the program is optional. Property owners may still choose to hire a private landscape contractor or service provider for hedge removal and disposal. 

To qualify for the fee waiver, please contact the Public Works Department at 561-838-5440. The Public Works team will then reach out to schedule a meeting. Pick-up appointments will be pre-scheduled and handled on a first‑come, first‑served basis. 

Questions relating to replanting and plant type requirements should be directed to the Planning Zoning and Building Department at 561-838-5431.
