View Garbage Pickup, Recycling, and Bulky Trash Schedules

The City of Miami Solid Waste Department provides residential garbage collection twice per week. Please note the Department of Solid Waste only closes on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Christmas Day.

Should the normal scheduled collection day fall on the Christmas Day or Martin Luther King Jr. Day , garbage collection will be performed on the next scheduled pickup day in your area.

Put Out/Clean Up Your Garbage Bins

• Be sure to put out your garbage bins 12-24 hours prior to the morning of pickup.
• Bins (carts) must be at least five feet away from any obstruction (trees, cars, light poles, etc.)
• Bins (carts) must be removed within 24 hours after pickup to avoid a citation.
