miami-dade city officials are offering a recycling program to help residents deal with their excess waste.
Municipal Waste Management District 5 officials will be offering a Waste Recycling Program that allows residents to reclaim up to 80 percent of their household waste.
Officials say residents can use a mobile recycling program for up to three times the cost of an individual recycler.
The program costs $300 per household and $1,500 per family.
The average household recycler takes up to 100 pounds of trash a year.
Residents are being encouraged to make a pledge to reduce their household’s waste.
If residents do not participate in the program, the city will refund any excess amount to the recycler’s account.
