Miami Solid Waste Division

My first time at a public dumpster:
I was surprised to arrive and find a friendly person at the gate. My second surprise was when we drove up the «hill» to dump our trash and discovered the place doesn’t smell like trash — true, you don’t want to spend the day there, but it was definitely not what I was expecting. The area where cars drive up to park and dump was pretty clean of debris, and it also wasn’t super packed.
We called a few places before finally finding this site. Most other public dump sites are only open Monday through Saturday, but this one is open every day of the week from 7am to 5:30pm — awesome — that meant we didn’t have to keep our rental truck an extra day b/​c we were able to get rid of everything immediately.
I’ve had negative experiences with government services in SoFla in the past, so it was very pleasant to finally have a good experience to write about.
Note: Call before going there. You need to be a resident of the city of Miami in order to use the site. Just b/​c your DL says Miami, it does not mean you can automatically dump there.
The only reason they don’t get five stars is because they don’t accept trash from apartments. So even though we were throwing out stuff we took out of our storage (not apartment) we weren’t able to throw out there. Apartments and storage places are supposed to provide dumpsters at their locations (which ours doesn’t).
