Trash Pick-up, Recycling and Bulk Pick-up 

Wasteful Weekends

Let the first weekend of the month be a wasteful one. Take your bulk trash to one of two dumpsters locations from 8:00 a.m. Saturday to 8:00 p.m. Sunday on the first weekend of every month.

The dumpsters are located at 6th Street Community Center (6th Street between Jefferson and Meridian avenues) and at 75th Street and Dickens Avenue.

Please DO NOT dispose of chemical or hazardous materials, tires, paints, or car parts into the dumpsters.

Contact the Answer Center at 305-604-CITY or the Sanitation Department at 305-673-7616 for more information.
