Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and Electronic Waste (E-waste) Recycling:
The City in collaboration with Waste Pro offers Miramar residents multiple opportunities to recycle HHW and E-waste materials. Additionally, on the first Saturday of each month, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., at no cost, residents can drop-off these materials at the Waste Pro Operating Facility located at 17302 Pines Boulevard, Pembroke Pines, 33029, phone: (954) 967-4200.
It is very important to keep these items out of the trash and recycle carts/ streams, as they can present significant health (respiratory) and safety issues (fire) during the collection and transportation process.

All curbside items should be relocated and secured whenever the City is placed in Hurricane Watch or Warning. Following a storms impact, the City’s Emergency Operations immediate plan includes, clearing roads for Emergency response vehicles, assessing all areas of the City to determine the severity of damage, estimating the amount of debris created and identifying the hardest hit areas. Some or all curbside collection services may be suspended prior, during and immediately following a severe weather event or Hurricane. The City has several pre-approved contracts in place that ensures the City is in compliance with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance Program Funding policies and procedures. The City highly recommends all residents develop a Family Emergency Plan, prepare a Hurricane Emergency Kit, and Stay Informed.
