Official Public Notice: Presidents’ Day Holiday Service Schedule and City Advisories

Holiday Administrative Closures

In observance of the Presidents’ Day holiday on Monday, February 16, 2026, most government administrative offices in the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County are closed. This includes City Hall, the Miami Riverside Center, and all municipal administrative departments. County libraries and the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida are also closed for the day. Residents are advised that regular business hours for these facilities will resume on Tuesday, February 17, 2026.

Solid Waste and Recycling Services

The City of Miami Department of Solid Waste has confirmed that regular garbage, recycling, and bulky trash collection services will proceed as scheduled today, Monday, February 16, 2026. Residents whose collection day falls on Monday should place their carts curbside as usual. Additionally, the department’s Mini Dump facility, located at 1290 NW 20th Street, remains open today from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to allow residents to dispose of bulky items. Proof of city residency is required for facility use.

Transit and Transportation Updates

Unlike many federal holidays, the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works is providing regular weekday service today for Metrobus, Metrorail, and Metromover. This ensures that residents relying on public transit for work can maintain their usual commutes. City of Miami Trolleys are also operational, though they are running on a modified holiday schedule from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. across most routes. Commuters are encouraged to use mobile transit applications for real-time tracking of vehicle locations.

Health and Water Quality Advisories

The Florida Department of Health and local environmental agencies maintain an active “No Contact” water advisory for the waterway adjacent to Parkview Island Park. Recent sampling indicates that bacteria levels in this specific area exceed recreational safety standards. Residents and visitors are advised to avoid swimming or engaging in water-related activities in this vicinity until the advisory is officially lifted. Conversely, the health advisory previously issued for the North Shore area near 73rd Street has been removed following successful water quality tests.

Upcoming Public Hearings and Notices

While offices are closed today, several public notices remain on display for community review. Multiple intended decisions regarding zoning and land use, including applications for properties on West Trade Avenue and SW 25th Street, are available for public inspection through February 27, 2026. Furthermore, the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Miami City Commission is set for Thursday, February 26, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in the City Commission chambers at City Hall. The agenda will include various planning and zoning resolutions, which are available for digital review via the city’s legislative portal.
