New Date for our Fall Recycling Drive-Thru! | |

Stormy weather put a damper on our recycling drive-thru two weeks ago, but now we've rescheduled it for Nov. 4 and are ready to do something great for our community! This is your chance to safely dispose of old electronics like computers, TVs, and printers along with household hazardous waste including light bulbs, batteries, paint, and gasoline. We'll also take paper items and will shred sensitive documents, and you can even drop off used clothing. Best of all, our drive-thru system makes it quick and easy to clean out your sheds and storage rooms while protecting the environment!

A Special Event to Celebrate First Responders | |

First responders such as police officers, fire fighters, paramedics, and EMTs perform crucial jobs. In the event of an emergency, it's often a first responder who defuses a dangerous situation, ensures public safety, and sometimes even saves a life.
To show our appreciation, we invite all South-Dade first responders to come to Village Hall on Nov. 15 to enjoy a free lunch provided by Mercedes-Benz of Cutler Bay! Either drive through and pick up a meal to go or stay and eat here. We can't wait to see you!
