MIAMI SPRINGS · TREE CITY USA

Keep the canopy.
Keep the city moving.

Miami Springs’ signature canopy is a public service, too: the City arborist, Public Works, street maintenance and stormwater teams all help care for it. For household waste, the key distinction is simple—City crews handle garbage and trash; Miami-Dade County handles curbside recycling.

Who handles what?

The waste route changes at the recycling cart.

Miami Springs’ city sanitation collects household garbage and trash. The County runs the recycling truck and owns the blue cart program. Keeping the two streams separate helps avoid missed carts.

01 / CITY COLLECTIONGarbage · twice weekly

City Sanitation provides a 90-gallon city-issued container to each home. Confirm pickup day or request a replacement cart through Public Works.

02 / CITY COLLECTIONTrash & yard debris

Public Works also handles debris, bulk trash and dead-animal retrieval. Large items may require a special request and could carry an extra fee. Construction debris is not routine pickup.

03 / COUNTY COLLECTIONRecycling · County 311

Miami-Dade collects recycling every other week with its blue cart. Use the County help line for missed recycling or damaged carts.

Recycling cart guidance ↗
Tree work: Check with the City Arborist before removing a tree; some species are protected and removal may need a permit. Avoid placing debris on or near water meters, swales or storm drains.
