Dump Site A Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps all of Miami-Dade County's solid waste facilities—including landfills, recycling centers, transfer stations, and resource recovery plants—with their exact locations and addresses. It helps residents find the nearest place to drop off trash, recyclables, or bulk items, and provides transparency about where the county's waste management infrastructure is located.
Why This Matters
- A homeowner looking to drop off yard waste or recyclables finds the closest recycling center or transfer station to their neighborhood
- A community advocate researching air quality concerns identifies all landfill and waste facility locations near their residential area
- A business owner managing waste disposal contracts locates county-approved transfer stations and disposal facilities they can use
