CREATE ADVISORY BOARD TO COUNTY COMMISSION ON SOLID WASTE

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 environmental compliance. Its purpose is to advise the Board of County Commissioners on developing long-term, sustainable solid waste management strategies, addressing challenges such as landfill capacity and the impact of the RRF fire. The board will operate for five years unless extended. During a public hearing on May 13, 2026, no members of the public spoke. Commissioners questioned the board's objective and timeline, with assurances that it would not address incinerator matters. The ordinance was amended and forwarded with a favorable recommendation.
