Hurricane Debris Removal Instructions

Hurricane debris removal is coordinated through FEMA. Residents are encouraged to place out storm-related debris from their properties, using existing hurricane debris piles if possible. Do not include broken furniture, discards or household refuse in vegetation piles, as this will impede the debris removal and processing operation. Failure to follow these FEMA requirements will result in delayed or no-pickup. Please call 305-460-5346 or 305-460-5000 if questions.

Improving Our Sanitation Collection Services
 
In order to improve the City’s sanitation collection services, the City hosted four Comprehensive Sanitation Plan Workshops in November 2018 and February 2019 seeking resident input. The City is analyzing how to improve our current residential backyard collection services which includes the household garbage and recycling, our bulk trash pile service, and "white goods" (refrigerators, washing machines, etc.) collection service.  Please note that we are not proposing to eliminate the current backyard collection services.
