PILOT PROGRAM - SALE OF FATS, OILS, AND GREASE (FOG)

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is exploring a pilot program for the sale of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) for reuse as biofuel or other purposes. The program aims to facilitate FOG sales by providing expedited regulatory approvals and technical assistance to businesses. The County Mayor or designee is directed to prepare the pilot program for Board review and approval, including a report detailing the program and any necessary amendments to FOG regulations. This initiative stems from previous efforts to comply with the Federal Clean Water Act and manage sewer overflows, and aims to address potential financial hardships on businesses, particularly small ones, related to FOG control device upgrades. The program will also collect data for potential future regulatory reform. The Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee forwarded this item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation.
