South Dade Solid Waste Disposal Facility
South Dade Solid Waste Disposal Facility, 23707 SW 97th Avenue, Homestead, 33032, Florida
South Dade Solid Waste Disposal Facility at 23707 SW 97th Avenue in Homestead is where locals take household trash, yard clippings and recyclables. Used mostly by residents and people doing yard or home projects. Expect a working, outdoor site with trucks and dust rather than a neat storefront.
Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll pass a scale; places like this commonly charge by weight, so plan for a stop again on the way out. The recycling bins are off to the right just past the booth, with larger piles of brush and mixed debris further in. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup, and hurricane season sometimes brings long lines or temporary closures. Big trucks and loaders move stuff around, so watch for heavy equipment and follow posted signs.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads before leaving home - loose debris blows out and makes unloading slower and messier.
- Sort recyclables and bulky items in the truck bed so unloading goes faster and fewer trips across the yard are needed.
- Try for a weekday morning if possible; weekends, spring cleanup and hurricane-recovery periods are the busiest and slowest times.
