In Miami, FL, Richmond Heights Recycling Center scores 92/100 with a strongly positive trend. Reviewers cite a clean, well-organized yard, quick drive-up process, and usually short or no lines. Staff are widely praised as friendly, professional, and helpful. Free drop-off for eligible locals after ID check; smooth traffic flow. Limits apply: household waste only, no mattresses, and typically one trip per day. Downsides include occasional rude gate interactions, turn-aways near closing, and closures when containers are full. Overall, efficient for fast local drop-offs.
Small but efficient dumpster. They only leave you one trip per day. The only complaint I have is that at least they should take care of those who come to throw garbage in a more polite way
Went at 10AM, no line at all. You just present your driver's license, they scan the back to confirm address and you back into a slot and dump your stuff into a large container. 100% free. MAKE SURE you check your address matches this recycle site on the miami dade website. This site also doesn't take things like mattresses.
Best place to go if you’re cleaning house. They take all kinds of stuff. Just show them your ID and if you are local to the area, you can come and put your trash here. Perfect if you are cleaning out your garage. The attendants are generally pleasant. Just drive up they tell you what parking space to go to then DUMP. Of course, only household garbage, not construction jobs.
We showed up with little to no trash in a clearly rented U-Haul 15 minutes before close and he scoffed and sent us away. Was no big deal to put a few random pieces in the dumpster- bad attitude and zero flexibility.
What a terrible experience. First time here ever since I just moved from Tampa around August this year. I asked the lady at the entrance if I could throw away an old sofa there and what documents or ID would I need since Its my first time there and didn't know what was required. She scans my license and then says I shouldn't be saying its my first time because the computer says ive been there before. I explained several times that must have been the old tenants from that property because I had just moved down to miami and she kept insisting that "I still shouldnt say that". So I keep saying yes I should BECAUSE IT IS MY FIRST TIME THERE. There might have been old tenants from the same address that went there and I get that but my statement of "its MY first time there" is still true. At the end she let me through but kept yapping and yapping and insinuating that I was lying. Very rude and disrespectful!
Great center! I was greeted by Bonita, a SWM employee who checked my ID. She was very professional and efficient at keeping the flow of traffic smooth and orderly. This is a small center, but well managed.
It is a pleasure to be greeted by people like Bonita who are keeping our county working smoothly especially during this pandemic.
