West Perrine Trash And Recycling Center

A neighborhood recycling center in southwest Miami that locals bring their sorted recyclables to rather than toss in the trash. People who do small cleanouts, yard trimming or drop off bulk recyclables use this place - expect typical community traffic, especially on weekends and after storms.

The site looks like a working yard with big roll-offs and open bays; recycling bins are usually grouped to one side near the entrance booth and larger vehicles pull up to separate drop areas. There’s a scale strip on the drive in/out for weight-based processing at most Florida centers, so vehicles often line up to get weighed. During hurricane season the place gets busier and extra piles of branch and brush tend to form in a separate section for yard debris.
