Frequently Asked Questions
Does Homestead FL have curbside recycling?
Yes. Every Homestead home gets a recycling can with a yellow or gray lid, and HPS collects it single-stream, so nothing needs sorting. The can takes plastics, cardboard, paper, glass, aluminum, and steel. Containers go in clean, empty, and free of food, and cardboard goes in dry.
What stays out of the green-lid Supercan in Homestead?
The green-lid Supercan holds general household waste only. Keep out dirt, sod, liquids, rocks, concrete, paint, toxic or flammable materials, construction debris, roofing, dead animals, metal, and wood. Leaves, grass, clippings, and branches stay out too. They go in a bulky waste pile.
When do cans go out for pickup in Homestead?
Set cans and bulky piles at the curb no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before collection and no later than 4:00 AM on collection day. Pull cans back by 8:00 PM that day. Face the handle toward your home and keep cans 5 feet apart and clear of mailboxes, trees, and cars.
How does bulky waste pickup work in Homestead?
Put bulky items and yard waste at the street edge one day before pickup, up to 10 cubic yards, 5 feet from mailboxes, trees, and cars. HPS takes stoves, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, and water heaters. Tree limbs and logs must be under 4 inches across, and stumps under 15 inches and 50 pounds.
Where do I take paint and chemicals in Homestead?
Take them to the South Dade Home Chemical Collection Center at 23707 SW 97 Avenue, Gate B, open Wednesday through Sunday. It takes oil-based paint, liquid latex paint, pesticides, solvents, pool chemicals, electronics, propane tanks, and unbroken fluorescent bulbs. It serves residents only, not businesses.
