Miami-Dade County is making sure residents are informed about trash and recycling services for the Thanksgiving holiday. The Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) has announced that, as per their tradition, there will be no interruption in waste and recycling collection services on Thanksgiving Day, November 27. According to the DSWM, all disposal facilities, which include the Trash and Recycling Centers and the Home Chemical Collection Centers, will operate during their regular hours.
The DSWM Administrative Offices will be closed on Thursday, November 27, and Friday, November 28. Officials advise residents to plan ahead if they need in-person assistance. Medley Landfill, operated by WM, Inc., will also adjust its schedule for the holiday, remaining open until noon before returning to normal hours the next day. Those with time-sensitive waste-hauling needs are encouraged to take note of the temporary changes.
For those seeking information ahead of the holiday, DSWM encourages residents to reach out to the 311 Contact Center or visit their website for full details. The announcement on Miami-Dade County's official site provides comprehensive information regarding the schedule, ensuring there's no confusion when the time comes to take out the trash. Residents are encouraged to plan any inquiries or service requests in advance. Officials say the pause in administrative operations will help ensure holiday collections proceed smoothly without disruptions at the curb.
