CITY OF MIAMI
ENCOURAGES RESIDENTS TO USE MINI-DUMP DURING HURRICANE
PREPARATIONS |
(Miami, FL)- The City of Miami encourages
residents to make use of the mini-dump as they prepare for Hurricane
Wilma. Residents that need to get rid of bulky items and trash right
away can drop items off at the City’s mini-dump, which is located at
1290 NW 20th St. and is open daily from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. The facility
will remain open until otherwise noticed (due to weather conditions).
Residents should be reminded that regularly scheduled garbage, trash,
and recycling collection (scheduled daily from 7:00am to 3:30pm) will
continue through Friday, but no additional rounds will be made at this
time.
Trash/bulky items that are left out in the right-of-way can pose a
hazard in strong winds and have potential to damage the surrounding
area. In addition, City Ordinance prohibits the placement of trash on
the public right-of-way before the next scheduled pick-up date, and
violation notices can be issued.
Please call the Solid Waste Customer Service section with any questions
or concerns from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at 305-575-5107 or call 311.
