"In a surprise vote Tuesday, county commissioners set a December date for preliminary approval of a site for building an incinerator plant for burning about half of Miami-Dade's garbage - trash that's currently being sent by truck and train to landfills as far away as Central Florida. Like the old incinerator in Doral that was shut down by a fire in early 2023, the new "waste-to-energy" facility would burn trash to create electricity."
"Commissioners directed Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to analyze proposals by a pair of competing consortiums - one led by Florida Power and Light and the other by FCC, a global trash-processing conglomerate based in Madrid - and recommend her favorite ahead of the commission's Dec. 16 meeting."
"After Miami-Dade County's elected leaders failed to agree on where to build a new garbage incinerator, will the private sector do any better?"
County commissioners voted to set a December date for preliminary approval of a site for an incinerator plant that would burn about half of Miami-Dade's garbage. The proposed facility would convert trash into electricity and reduce shipments by truck and train to landfills as far away as Central Florida. The plan follows the closure of the Doral incinerator after an early 2023 fire. Commissioners instructed Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to review competing proposals from a Florida Power and Light-led consortium and from FCC of Madrid and recommend a preferred option before the Dec. 16 meeting.
