Miami-Dade County recommends site for waste-to-energy facility
In Florida, Doral Family Journal reported that a new report issued by Miami-Dade County brings light on a new site for Covanta Waste-to-Energy Facility located at Doral.
“We have been able to reach the conclusion that the best potential new site for the County’s Resource facility and a full campus to deal with all of our waste management issues is the site on Krome Avenue and US 27,” Commissioner Juan Carlos Bermudez said via social media.
Bermudez explained that according to the report issued, the administration believes the County now has “a unique opportunity to invest in and modernize a 40-year-old system and turn it into a financially sustainable, environmentally responsible program that will grow with the needs of the community.”
“While an Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan is not created overnight, we recommend that the County should promptly procure the development of a Solid Waste campus, which would include the construction of a new modern mass burn waste-to-energy facility capable of processing at least 4,000 tons of waste daily,” he added.
