Community Cleanup & Bulk Waste Pickup Suspension

Last week we completed the cleanup of the community debris piles scattered throughout the community that were created after Hurricane Irma. Miami Dade County Solid Waste Management came through the community and picked up a great portion of that debris and the Association picked up whatever was missed. Currently Miami Dade County Solid Waste Management has temporarily suspended bulk waste pickup as they focus on cleanup efforts throughout the rest of the county.  They have no ETA on when services will resume, although some have estimated it could take as long as mid-December. As a result of this suspension, we ask that members refrain from placing any bulk waste in front of their unit. Debris piles are like magnets, attracting others to dump on those piles and if allowed to persist at a member's unit until December, anything anyone places on that pile becomes that unit owner's headache. Anyone found placing bulk waste in front of their homes will contacted and instructed to take their debris to the waste collection center located at 8000 SW 107th Ave in order to avoid an Association waste pickup which will result in extra fees for that member.  Once the county resumes bulk waste pickup services, we will let everyone know.

Your alternatives at this time, if you don't have a way to take that debris to the county waste collection center, are to hire a private waste pickup company of which there are several.  You can look into Bagster @ https://www.thebagster.com.  You purchase a $30 bag at Home Depot, Lowes or Amazon which then stores the bulk waste and you then schedule a pickup online when done filling the bag. They charge $149 for a pickup of up to 3,300 pounds of yard waste and concrete however they do have some restriction on other items so please be sure to read through their terms of service before electing to use them. Please contact us prior to using any private waste pickup company if bulk waste will be left in front of your unit to avoid any Association waste pickup charges.  You can also place a classified ad on Nextdoor.com to see if there are folks willing to take the debris to the dump for you.  If you have any questions or concerns, please Contact Us.
