Waste & Recycling Regulations — Official Miami-Dade Sources
Miami-Dade Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM)
The primary county authority for residential collection, bulky waste pickup, and disposal policy. Key data we cite: residential collection customers receive 2 free bulky waste pickups per year, up to 25 cubic yards each. This is the baseline we check before ever recommending a paid pickup.
Miami-Dade General Hauler Permit Program
Operating as a waste hauler for hire in Miami-Dade requires an official County Hauler Permit, proof of general liability insurance, and a background check. This is the exact program under which we hold Permit #SW-02984-P. The county’s public permit records let you verify any hauler before you book.

Health & Safety Compliance — Federal Sources
EPA Section 608 — Refrigerant & Appliance Disposal
Federal law under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act requires refrigerant to be safely recovered before any refrigerator, freezer, or air conditioner is scrapped or disposed of. This is the source behind our certified Freon-handling fee on appliance removal jobs, it is not an upcharge we invented.
EPA — Appliance Disposal Requirements →
Hurricane & Storm Debris — Official Sources
NOAA — Atlantic Hurricane Season
NOAA’s National Hurricane Center sets the official Atlantic hurricane season as June 1 through November 30. This is the window we reference on our homepage’s hurricane-season debris banner, and why we recommend booking storm debris pickup early instead of waiting on a county appointment.

Miami-Dade Department of Emergency Management
The county’s official source for storm preparedness, evacuation guidance, and post-storm debris procedures countywide. We coordinate our hurricane-season scheduling around the guidance this department publishes.

Licensing & Consumer Protection
Miami-Dade County (311) is the public channel for reporting illegal dumping and verifying a licensed hauler’s standing. Hiring an unpermitted hauler exposes property owners, not just the hauler, to illegal-dumping fines. Always ask to see a hauler’s current County Hauler Permit before you book.
