MIAMI ( January 10, 2022 )

The Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) has released the schedule of services for the upcoming Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday.

Curbside Waste and Trash Collection Service

Waste collection for Monday customers will take place on their next regularly scheduled collection day, Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022.

Please take into consideration that waste collection on Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022, may take longer than usual, due to the high volume of waste expected to be placed at the curb. Customers are asked to be patient, as crews will work throughout the day until all routes are serviced.
