How Miami handles holidays

The department closes only on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Christmas Day. If a regular pickup day falls on either, garbage and bulky trash move to the next scheduled pickup day in the area.

Garbage is collected twice a week, recycling every other week, and bulky trash (yard material) once a week. Recycling makeup dates are on the household recycling calendar.
