City Of Coral Gables Sanitation Division Understaffed Due To Coronavirus

From the City of Coral Gables:

March 10, 2021

For the past couple of weeks we have faced challenges in the Sanitation Division that have impacted trash, waste and recycling pickups. Our team is working hard to ensure that each home has their trash and recycling picked-up weekly and their garbage twice a week. We have been understaffed due to the impact of COVID-19 on our team. Once a team member tests positive, we follow CDC guidelines which depending on the circumstances, may include quarantining the entire crew for seven days.

Please note, we are working to catch-up missed pick-ups including working seven days this past week. If you have been impacted, we ask for your understanding and thank you for your patience. If you need to report a missed pick-up please contact the Sanitation Division at 305-460-5346 or report it on the City of Coral Gables App.

Please know, our focus is keeping our city beautiful and our community and team members safe.
