The Miami-Dade Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) is reminding residential customers that cardboard can be recycled year-round at several of the county’s Trash and Recycling Centers (TRCs), making it easier for the public to responsibly dispose of cardboard and support sustainability.
“Creating a cleaner, greener Miami-Dade starts with simple actions — and recycling cardboard is one of them,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “By making recycling more accessible and reinforcing our commitment to sustainability through initiatives like the Zero Waste Master Plan, we’re taking real steps to protect our environment, reduce waste, and build a resilient future for generations to come.”
Cardboard recycling is available for customers within the service area, at the following TRC locations:
• Moody Drive: 12970 SW 268 St., Homestead
• South Miami Heights: 20800 SW 117 Ct.
• Eureka Drive: 9401 SW 184 St., Palmetto Bay
• West Perrine: 16651 SW 107 Ave.
• Sunset Kendall: 8000 SW 107 Ave.
• Richmond Heights: 14050 Boggs Dr.
• Golden Glades: 140 NW 160 St.
This service is part of DSWM’s ongoing efforts to provide residents with convenient recycling options while supporting the goals of the county’s forthcoming Zero Waste Master Plan (ZWMP), a comprehensive roadmap that will help reduce landfill dependency and foster a circular economy through expanded recycling and sustainable waste diversion strategies.
“Our team is focused on increasing public awareness of our cardboard recycling program as part of our ongoing efforts to promote long-term sustainability in our community,” said Aneisha Daniel, PhD, Miami-Dade Department of Solid Waste Management director.
“Informing the public about responsible recycling habits is essential to our long-term zero-waste goals, and it is another example of how we’re working to enhance waste diversion and support community-wide sustainability.”
These developments underscore DSWM’s commitment to provide customers with exceptional waste collection, recycling, and disposal services that protect, preserve and improve our environment and the quality of life in our community.
Residents are encouraged to recycle cardboard responsibly by flattening boxes and placing them in the designated bins at the listed TRC locations. Additional information, including hours of operation and recycling guidelines, can be found on the DSWM website at www.miamidade.gov/global/service.page?Mduid_service=ser1464797123341331.
