Saturday, September 16, 2017, City of North Miami debris removal contractors (DRC Emergency Services and True North Emergency Management) began debris removal in response to Hurricane Irma. The contractors are currently prioritizing debris removal in all four quadrants of the City based on areas where Hurricane Irma has generated storm debris. Storm debris from your home should be placed on the curbside/public right-of way (ROW) for pick-up. (Reference Exhibit A: North Miami Quadrant Map)

REGULAR BULK TRASH COLLECTION BY WASTE PRO
Waste Pro's regular garbage and recycling collection are operational. Waste Pro's regular bulk trash collection resumed on Monday, September 25. It is important to note that Waste Pro's bulk trash collection DOES NOT INCLUDE any hurricane-related debris or vegetation. Bulk items DO INCLUDE appliances, small pieces of furniture, large boxes that do not fit into residential recycling bins, and other household items that do not fit into the solid waste garbage cart for collection. Please note that all solid waste and food trash must go into the solid waste garbage cart.
Please be patient in the coming weeks, as some delays are expected over the course of the next 30 days. Crews are encountering exceptionally large amounts of debris and wait times at dump facilities.
