Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County has established a Solid Waste Advisory Board through Ordinance 260132. This board will consist of 15 voting members with expertise in solid waste management, finance, and related fields. Its purpose is to advise the Board of County Commissioners on developing long-term, sustainable solid waste management strategies, including identifying new technologies, managing costs, and ensuring compliance with development requirements. The board will sunset five years after its establishment unless extended. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on February 18, 2026, deferred on April 15, 2026, forwarded with a favorable recommendation on May 13, 2026, and amended on June 2, 2026. Public comment was minimal during committee meetings, with one commissioner questioning the task force's objective and timeline, and receiving clarification that it was for advisory purposes and not related to incinerator matters.
