The Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management announced Tuesday that some county residents whose cans are collected on Tuesdays may have to wait as the department is experiencing higher than normal employee absences due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
The county announced in a news release that all routes may not be completed due to the employees absences:
The county said remaining Tuesday routes would be collected on Wednesday, December 29th, announcing that “as a remedy, DSWM will be collecting any remaining Tuesday routes tomorrow, Wednesday, December 29. If your waste is not collected today, please leave your green waste cart out so we can collect it tomorrow.”
The county apologized for the inconvenience and said they appreciated the community’s patience.
