What is snowbird trash service?

Snowbird trash service handles your curbside trash cans while you're away from your Florida home during the summer months — or any extended time you're not in town. Cans are taken out on collection day and returned the same day so they don't sit at the curb, get blown over in a storm, or rack up HOA fines while you're up north.

How does Swoop work for snowbirds with Florida vacation homes?

Set a recurring schedule in the Swoop app before you head north. The app dispatches a background-checked Swooper on every collection day for your address. After each service you get a time-stamped photo confirmation showing your cans at the curb (or back at your home) — so you have proof of service even from 1,200 miles away.

Can I pause Swoop service when I return to Florida for the winter?

Yes. Pause or cancel recurring service anytime directly from the app. Most snowbird customers run recurring service from May through October and pause it when they return to Florida for the winter. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no phone calls.

Will my HOA accept Swoop while I'm out of state?

Yes — same-day return is the entire point. Swoop drivers take your cans to the curb in the morning and bring them back the same evening so they're never at the curb longer than your HOA allows. Photo verification gives you documented proof of compliance if your HOA ever asks.

What does snowbird trash service cost?

Pricing is the same as in-season service: $11.99 for take-out only, $11.99 for return only, or $19.99 for the full take-out and return service. Recurring schedules save 20%. No tipping, no contracts. Most snowbirds run a $19.99 weekly service for 5-6 months at a total cost of roughly $400-$480 for the off-season.

What if my Florida HOA changes collection days while I'm up north?

You can update your Swoop schedule from anywhere in the app — adjust the day, pause, or change the service type in seconds. If your municipality changes collection around holidays (common in Florida), just adjust your recurring service to match and we'll handle the rest.

Which Florida cities does Swoop serve for snowbirds?

Swoop serves snowbirds and seasonal residents across the busiest Florida markets — Palm Beach Gardens, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Jupiter, Wellington, Fort Myers, Tampa, and Miami, plus the Orlando metro and surrounding Florida communities. Service area is expanding monthly.

The summer-away problem

Florida summers turn empty homes into a chore for everyone but the owner. If you're spending May through October up north, your cans still go out and come back every week — somebody just has to do it. That somebody used to be a tired neighbor, a property manager charging you $50 a visit, or your HOA notice in the mailbox.

You're 1,200 miles away

Your Florida home sits empty for half the year. Cans don't take themselves out — and neighbors will only do it for so long.

HOA violations stack up

Florida HOAs fine $25–$100/day for cans left at the curb. Photo proof of compliance protects you while you're away.

Storms knock cans over

Florida summer storms scatter unattended cans across the neighborhood. Same-day return keeps them secured at your home.

Vacant homes look vacant

Cans piled at the curb signal an empty home to anyone watching. Regular service keeps your property looking lived-in.
