Free Sandbag Distribution

The City of Miami Beach will be hosting a free sandbag distribution event on Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at two surface parking lot locations: 2100 Collins Avenue (east of Collins Park) and 225 79 Street.

Sandbags will be pre-filled and there is a limit of 4 per household. Available while supplies last. Residents are required to show proof of residency via a government-issued ID or utility bill.

As a reminder, only dry sandbags can be stored for reuse. Sandbags exposed to floodwaters may have come into contact with contaminants or pollutants and should be disposed of with care. After a flooding event, please place used sandbags curbside during the city-announced pickup period. Do not empty sandbags onto beaches or into drains. Remember, taking sand from our beaches is prohibited. The sand and dunes are the city’s first line of defense against storm surge.
