Beginning with the New Year, the City of Coral Gables is strengthening its enforcement of all garbage and trash disposal regulations seven days a week.
This effort addresses complaints that neighbors are dumping all types of unacceptable items on the swale, especially on the weekends, leaving unsightly garbage and trash for long periods of time, ruining the pristine look of neighborhoods.
As a reminder, residents receive one pickup of up to one cubic yard of combined trash (household refuse and clean yard waste) per week. Household refuse such as rubber and small furniture items may be place on the parkway in front of a residence only after 6 p.m. on the evening before the scheduled pickup day and no later than 7 a.m. on the day of the scheduled collection.
Garden waste generated by landscape maintenance activities may be placed at any time during the week.
Code Enforcement Officers will issue fines up to $500 per violation for leaving household refuse out prior to pickup day.
