What Miami picks up at the curb, how many items you get, what needs an appointment, and what it costs. Straight from the city, checked and dated.
What Miami collects, and what you do with the rest
Every city route below is capped. Read the last two columns first: they decide whether the city takes your load at all, or only part of it.
| Route | What it costs | How much it takes | The condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curbside, regular collection day | The city does not publish a residential charge for the weekly bulky collection. | Everything has to be securely tied in bundles, no more than three feet long and no more than fifty pounds each. | — |
| City of Miami Mini Dump Facility | No residential charge is published. What qualifies you is the door: one proof of City of Miami residency (a Florida driver's licence or ID, three months of utility statements, a rental agreement or a tax bill) and a maximum of one trip a day, each trip no bigger than a pickup truck load. Vehicles with commercial markings, dump or panel trucks, commercial trucks and vans, and material from commercial contractors are all turned away. | — | — |
| Hire a hauler | You pay — quotes come from local companies bidding against each other. | No item cap and no wrapping, residency or vehicle rule. | They carry it out; nothing has to reach the curb under its own steam. |
