Miami-Dade County Public Works and Waste Management Department

County-run disposal facility out on SW 107th that Miami residents use when curbside pickup won’t cut it. The yard has a working, industrial feel with trucks and equipment moving around. Expect weekends and hurricane-prep times to be much busier than midweek.

Pull up to a gated entrance with a booth, then head toward a scale where vehicles are weighed so be prepared to stop more than once. Lanes mix cars, pickups and trailers - take it slow and watch for larger rigs. Drop-off and recycling areas sit off to one side past the entrance, with signs and traffic flow guiding drivers. The site is dusty and noisy at times, so plan for a no-frills, hands-on experience rather than a tidy drop-off.
