Official City of Coral Gables Notice
Keep Coral Gables Beautiful will host a Recycling Drive-Thru Event on Saturday, Nov. 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the parking lot behind City Hall. Residents can bring old electronics and large cardboard boxes for recycling, dispose of household hazardous waste and bring documents for shredding. A new addition to this event, you can now drop off your “lightly/gently used” clothing (men’s, women’s, and children’s) which will be donated to Camillus House.
Electronic items with a plug or batteries are eligible to be recycled. Coral Gables residents can drop off household hazardous waste items such as paint cans, pool chemicals, oils, batteries, and household pesticides. Proof of residency in Coral Gables is required.
Over the past six years, these bi-annual collection events have diverted more than 290,000 pounds of electronic and household hazardous waste and paper from entering landfills. This event is organized through Keep Coral Gables Beautiful and in partnership with the Coral Gables Sustainability Advisory Board and the City of Coral Gables Police and Public Works Departments.
Please note: Items will not be accepted before 9 am or after 12 pm on the day of the event.
