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

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

Miami-Dade County adopted a resolution directing the County Mayor or designee to prepare 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 businesses, provide expedited regulatory approvals and technical assistance, and collect data for potential regulatory reform. The study will also identify necessary changes to state or county law. The resolution stems from efforts to comply with a Consent Decree related to sanitary sewer overflows and to address potential financial hardships on businesses from FOG control device upgrades. The County Mayor or designee must submit a report detailing the proposed pilot program and any necessary regulatory amendments within 90 days of the resolution's effective date.
