A Resolution directing the City Manager to cease the current practice of putting
notices on trash bins in order to notify City residents of when garbage will be picked
up during the week of a national holiday.
WHEREAS, there are 22 miles of road in the City which have to be driven in both directions for
the South Miami Department of Solid Waste to cover the entire City to put notices on trash bins; and
WHEREAS, those notices have been delivered that way for years telling residents when garbage
will be picked up during the week of a national holiday; and
WHEREAS, not every resident has their garbage bin out for pickup on their pickup days,
resulting in an incomplete dissemination of information; and
WHEREAS, by now South Miami residents are aware of when garbage will be picked up during
the week of a national holiday; and
WHEREAS, if someone misses a garbage pickup, they can expect another one within a
maximum of four (4) days.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA:
