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.
