Holiday Schedule
General Rule
Miami-Dade County operates waste collection services rain or shine on most holidays. Collections are only suspended on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day.
Yard Waste Exception
Because the county runs a twice-weekly collection model, holiday-skipped routes are not pushed back by one day; service simply resumes on your next regularly scheduled collection day.
County administrative offices and 311 service channels may observe adjusted holiday hours. Download the Miami-Dade Solid Waste app for real-time tracking.

Local Tips & Community Info
Turn Your Cans into Cash Right Here in the Naples Area!
You know those aluminum cans and plastic bottles you're tossing? You could be getting a few bucks back for them! While Country Club itself might not have a direct buyback center, a quick drive over to Naples could get you paid. Places like the Re-Source Recycling Center in Naples are often looking for clean aluminum cans and plastic bottles. It’s a great way to make a little extra cash while doing your part for the planet, especially since Florida doesn't have a statewide bottle deposit law.
Giving Your Gently Used Stuff a Second Life Near Country Club
Got items that are still in good shape but you just don't need anymore? Instead of letting them head to the landfill, consider donating them! The Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Fort Myers is a fantastic spot to drop off furniture, appliances, and home goods. They’re always looking for donations to help fund their mission. Plus, there are likely several local thrift stores and charities in the greater Naples area that would gratefully accept clothing, books, and household items. It's a win-win: you declutter, and someone else gets a great deal.
Keeping Our Neighborhoods Clean: What to Do About Unwanted Junk
Illegal dumping is a real bummer for everyone. If you ever see piles of trash left where they shouldn't be around Country Club, it's super important to report it. Collier County has a solid waste management department that takes this seriously. You can usually report illegal dumping by calling them directly at 239-252-2380 or through their online portal if they have one. They also sometimes hold special household hazardous waste collection days where you can safely get rid of things like paint, batteries, and electronics, so keep an eye out for those announcements!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I schedule a bulky waste pickup for old furniture in Country Club?
You can schedule your collection online through the Miami-Dade County Solid Waste portal or by dialing 311. Each residential household is allotted two free bulky waste pickups of up to 25 cubic yards per calendar year.
Are mattresses required to be wrapped in plastic for curbside bulk collection?
Yes. Miami-Dade County code dictates that all mattresses and box springs placed at the curb for bulky waste collection must be completely encased in a sealed plastic mattress bag or protective sleeve to prevent pest spread.
What should I do if my green garbage cart is missed by the automated truck?
Ensure your cart was placed out before 7:00 a.m. with the wheels facing your home, lid tightly closed, and maintaining a 5-foot clearance from obstacles. If it met all criteria and was missed, report the missed collection to Miami-Dade County via 311 within 24 hours.
Can I throw electronics or old TVs into my green waste cart?
No. Electronic waste, computers, and televisions contain regulated materials and cannot be disposed of in your household trash carts. You must take them to the North Dade Home Chemical Collection Center or a designated county facility.
