As Columbus Day approaches, Miami-Dade residents can expect no interruptions in waste and recycling services. The Miami-Dade Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) has announced that all collection services will continue on a normal schedule on Monday. This includes the usual waste and recycling pickups as well as standard operations at all DSWM disposal facilities. Those with Monday service should plan for no changes this holiday.
Waste Management, Inc.'s Medley Landfill, which serves as a major component in the waste management infrastructure, will also be open during regular business hours on Columbus Day. This leaves residents with an opportunity to dispose of their waste without delay, even as the DSWM Administrative offices take a day off, closing in observance of the holiday.
However, those seeking contact with the DSWM Administrative offices will have to wait, as it will remain closed on Columbus Day. Residents are encouraged to plan accordingly for any administrative waste-related inquiries or tasks requiring attention from these offices. The closure is part of the county's adherence to the observance of federal holidays, reminding the community to respect the schedules of such institutions.
For further clarity or any additional information concerning the Columbus Day holiday service schedule, the DSWM prompts residents to reach out to the 311 Contact Center before the holiday arrives. Additionally, service details and operation hours can be accessed via the department's website at www.miamidade.gov/solidwaste.
