What Homestead itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Not an option: A Homestead resident may not use Miami-Dade County's Neighborhood Trash and Recycling Centers. The county's eligibility rule is explicit: 'Only residential waste fee customers who reside in unincorporated Miami-Dade County and the cities of Aventura, Cutler Bay, Doral, Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, Opa-locka, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Sunny Isles Beach and Sweetwater may use these facilities', and a valid State of Florida driver's license or identification card must be presented to verify the property address. Homestead is not among the eligible cities, so the thirteen county centers — the obvious free drop-off answer in Miami-Dade — are closed to Homestead households. Source

- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
