Trash and recycling bins in Miami Gardens must be stored out of public view between collection days and placed at the curb only on the designated collection day. Bins must not obstruct sidewalks, driveways, or the roadway. Prompt retrieval after collection is required.
Under Miami Gardens code enforcement standards, trash and recycling bins must be stored in locations not visible from the public right-of-way between collection days — typically in the rear or side yard behind the fence line. Bins may be placed at the curb the evening before or morning of the designated collection day. After collection, bins must be retrieved and returned to their storage location promptly. Bins placed at the curb must not obstruct sidewalks, driveways, mailboxes, or the roadway. The Code Enforcement Division patrols for bin placement violations as part of its property maintenance program.
Bins left at the curb after collection day or stored in view from the street are code violations. Citations are issued through the Code Enforcement process.
