Miami-Dade County proposes a new trash incinerator site near Okeechobee Road amid opposition and legal threats.
Miami-Dade County is in dispute over a proposed trash incinerator, with a new site suggested near Okeechobee Road. Commissioner Juan Carlos Bermudez claims it is farther from residents than a previous option, but Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam opposes it, citing similar risks. The county faces threats of legal action and criticism from environmentalists. Miami-Dade aims for zero waste, exploring alternatives like composting, while planning to build the largest incinerator in the U.S. to process 4,000 tons of waste daily.
