Descrição
There is a consistent problem with recycling and garbage pickup during quiet hours (after 10 and before 7). I have happened to follow some in my car, which are city owned trucks, after 10 pm. I have also woken up to the sound of bottles being dumped at all hours, most often between 5-6 am. I have called the non-emergency line 3 times now, and I'm not sure if it helps or not, since I wait about 10 minutes to see if it will stop before calling, so never sure if they just have moved on or actually been addressed by police. Regardless, it doesn't seem to be stopping them. Are tickets being issued? Is there a way to have you all formally speak to all of the garbage pickup crews (privately owned or not) to clarify that they shouldn't be doing this? I'm exhausted b/c I rarely get a full night's sleep in.
Thank you!

Solid waste services has certain rules for garbage and recycling for downtown businesses:

You can call solid waste services to file a complaint if you think regulations are not being followed. Another option is to contact the property manager of the offending business.
We had the same problem. There were 14 recycle bins at the curb on Davie across from City Market. I called one of the property managers for City Market and they took action to get rid of the individual recycle bins and get a larger shared recycle bin and place it in the back of the building. It has fixed the noise issues in the middle of the night.

The bottle dumping is most likely coming from a nearby bar or bars. Then the trucks come and empty the bins at certain times. Finally, the homeless go digging through the bins for cans in the early hours of the morning.
I would recommend sleep noise as well if you haven't tried that already. White noise or rain can help drown out other sounds. Some baby noise machines have ocean and rain sounds.
