Levine Cava nixes plan to build incinerator near Miramar, mulls building landfill outside MiamiDade
Jan 26, 2025
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said she is abandoning a controversial plan to build a new incinerator near Miramar.
In a memo sent this weekend, Levine Cava confirmed the county no longer plans to replace the trash-burning facility in Doral that burned down in 2023.
The plan to rebuild it near Miramar was met with protests.
The mayor said she now wants to explore building a landfill outside the county.
County commissioners will discuss the next steps in February.
