OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 2022
MIRAMAR RESIDENTS TO RECEIVE NEW GREEN GARBAGE CARTS
T
he City of Miramar has collaborated with Waste Pro of Florida to replace all residential Green Garbage Carts during the months of October & November. Obtaining a new garbage container is quick and easy. To receive these new trash carts, leave your old green cart at the curb on your scheduled collection day (even if it is empty), and it will be replaced. If it is not replaced on the same day that you placed the cart on the curb, leave it there until the new one arrives. Every residential home will receive a new cart during this replacement period, no one will be left behind. Here are some helpful tips to ensure that your garbage is collected in a timely manner and avoid interruption with your curbside collection service: • Place cart for collection within 5 feet of the street by 7 a.m. on the scheduled pick-up day. • Make sure arrows on lid are pointed toward the street. Items in garbage cart should not extend above the rim by more than a few inches. • Non-Waste Pro containers, paper bags, cardboard boxes, recycling bins and oil drums cannot be used as garbage containers, and will not be collected. • Branches, limbs, and other vegetative items must be placed in the Waste Pro container or put out with your scheduled monthly bulk pickup. • Oil, paints, insecticides, chemicals, automotive parts, batteries, tires, medical waste including hypodermic needles and syringes and hazardous waste will not be collected. Click on the Household Hazardous Waste tab for further disposal information. If you experience a “missed pickup” on your collection day, or have any questions, please call Waste Pro at 954-967-4200 or contact our Customer Service Division at 954-602-HELP. Please include name, address, phone number and nature of your call.
