(WPLG)

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. ā€“ Some Miami-Dade County residents who typically have their garbage picked up on Tuesdays may have to hang on to their waste a little bit longer as the Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management is experiencing higher than normal employee absences due to the COVID-19 surge, department officials confirmed in a news release.

Due to the employee absences, all routes may not be able to be completed Tuesday.
