City to strengthen enforcement of garbage, trash disposal regulations

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.

  1. I’m sorry for probably getting into the wrong place, but I could not find where to write this complaint that use to occur with certain frequency. Yesterday thru CHASE I sent the total amount for 1 year garbage and thrash disposal as always, but my garbage today is again waiting for any body who make the pick up. Will be because I came from a very hidden, remote town of the provincia de Camaguey.?. I don’t know, really I don’t know, but how much I would like to know.
