Cardboard Pickup Days
Curb Pick up for Cardboard: 1st Monday of the Month. Boxes must be flattened and tied/taped together. (Whether picked up or dropped off). Regular trash days, cardboard will not be picked up with garbage, even if bagged. At the 2/24 board meeting it was clarified that the current cardboard policy allows for thin cardboard such as small boxes, I,e. cereal boxes, can be broken down and placed in household trash bags for curb service. pickup or drop off cardboard is defined as corrugated cardboard i.e. shipping or packing boxes.
The following are suggested descriptions to try to help those that might not be sure.
Household Trash
Everyday waste from your home, including food scraps, food wrappers, diapers, hygiene products, plastic bags, and paper products. This is the typical small, routine trash generated daily.
Household Cardboard
Thin, smooth cardboard, such as cereal boxes, tissue boxes, and shoe boxes. These are usually made from a single layer of material and are primarily used for packaging lightweight items. Household cardboard can go in your regular bagged trash.
Heavier Cardboard
Sturdier, thicker cardboard like shipping boxes or moving boxes, designed for strength and durability. Examples include Amazon or Chewy boxes and large moving boxes. These need to be broken down and must be placed out for cardboard pickup. Alternatively, they can be dropped off at the maintenance barn on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 8:00 AM and Noon.
Heavy Haul
Large, bulky, or heavy items that don’t fit into regular trash collection. These may require special handling. Examples include furniture, appliances, and scrap metal (like old TVs or metal desks). Note: Tires, batteries, and paint are not accepted.
Helpful hint: Take a large box and flatten it, tape the bottom with strong tape, like gorilla tape. This makes an envelope. Then as you flatten your smaller boxes put them in this “envelope”. When full tape together and take to drop off!
Maintenance Barn is located off Coral Gables & Westwood East, turn at the Trinity Pines sign. The street “Y’s” stay to the left.
