Sanitation
Garbage Pickup
The City of North Miami provides garbage pickup twice a week to residential
properties - Mondays and Thursdays, or Tuesdays and Fridays. Residents are encouraged
to put the containers out at the street curb the night before after
7:00 PM to avoid missing the pickup. For information on pickup dates
or other information, call the Sanitation Division at 305.895.9870.
Bulk Trash Pickup 
General bulk trash pickup is scheduled weekly and consists of
garden cuttings, tree limbs, and household trash, such as wood boards
without nails, all of which must be less than five (5) feet in length.
Furniture and appliances, such as refrigerators or stoves are also
okay. Sanitation workers do not pick up concrete, building materials,
rocks or scrap iron. For specific dates and pickup areas, call the
Sanitation Division at 305.895.9870.
To dispose of household chemicals, oils, and other household hazardous waste
materials please call Miami-Dade County at (305) 597-1768.
Commercial Trash Containers
Commercial trash containers should be placed within a front or side
yard setback on the property. If there is not enough space, then
the business owner should obtain a permit, which allows the container
to sit within a public right-of-way. Commercial trash containers
placed in the front of the business must have enclosures around
them, which are built according to City specifications. Those specifications
are available by contacting Code Enforcement Officer Erin Barber @ 305.895.9875.
