Chapter 90 of the Miami Beach City Code governs solid waste management including trash bin storage, placement, and collection schedules. Garbage containers must have secure lids and trash must not overflow. Residential trash collection follows a specific schedule by neighborhood, and containers may only be placed at the curb during designated collection windows. Containers must be returned to a non-visible storage area after collection, typically behind the front building line or inside a garage. Recyclables must be separated according to the city's recycling program requirements. Commercial waste haulers must maintain clean containers and remove trash on schedule to prevent overflow and accumulation. Bulk items and yard waste have separate collection schedules and placement rules. Construction debris must be contained in approved dumpsters with proper permits. Dumping or disposing of waste outside designated collection points or times is prohibited. The city provides waste collection services and residents can request special pickups for oversized items through the Sanitation Department.
Trash violations including overflowing containers, missing lids, and improper placement are enforced by Code Compliance at (305) 673-7555. Fines start at $100 for first offenses and escalate. Illegal dumping carries fines up to $1,000 and potential criminal charges.
