1 hour agoMiami-Dade asks FPL and a rival company to pick sites for a garbage incinerator
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.
