Miami Gardens requires trash and recycling bins to be stored out of public view when not placed at the curb for collection. Bins must be brought in promptly after collection. Excessive accumulation of garbage is prohibited under the nuisance ordinance. Regular garbage service is required to maintain sanitary conditions.
Under the City of Miami Gardens nuisance and property maintenance codes, trash and recycling bins must be stored in areas not visible from the public right-of-way — typically in the rear or side yard behind the fence line. Bins may be placed at the curb on the designated collection day and must be removed promptly after collection. Regular garbage service must be maintained to avoid creation of unsanitary conditions. Accumulations of hard junk, yard waste, and construction debris are prohibited and must be disposed of during scheduled bulk waste pickup or stored inside an enclosed structure. Illegal dumping on others' property is prohibited. The Code Enforcement Division patrols for trash and waste violations.
Bins left at the curb after collection day, excessive trash accumulation, and illegal dumping are code violations subject to fines through the Code Enforcement process.
