Miami-Dade County invites residents to take part in countywide Home Chemical Drop-Off events

The Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) invites Miami-Dade County residents to the Home Chemical Drop-off Mobile Events, happening between September and January 2024. Through this program, residents can safely dispose of household products that can be potentially harmful for the environment if not disposed of properly. 

Requirements:

Events are open to all Miami-Dade County residents. ID REQUIRED – Patrons must present a valid State of Florida driver’s license or identification card to verify residency in Miami-Dade County.

The events are not open for business or commercial use.

Pack all containers upright in a sturdy box and tighten the lids and caps. Place leaking containers inside a larger container, along with absorbent material such as newspaper.
