Help us move the Incinerator out of Doral
March 7th
The Miami-Dade County Board of Commissioners has once again postponed a decision on the future location of a proposed waste incinerator. Instead of selecting a site, commissioners agreed to revisit the issue on July 16, 2025, after receiving a comprehensive report exploring all available options for managing solid waste.
The incinerator discussion, which has been ongoing for two years, was initially expected to conclude at the February 19 meeting following a workshop held on January 28. However, commissioners deferred item 11A6, which proposed excluding Doral, Medley, and NW 58th Street as potential locations, and instead directed the administration to prepare a detailed report analyzing alternatives, including landfilling and waste-to-energy technologies.
The report, due within 120 days, will examine financial, environmental, and logistical considerations related to Miami-Dade’s waste management system. Commissioners emphasized the need for a thorough analysis to make an informed decision. The issue is set to be discussed again on July 16, 2025, at which point a final decision on waste management options is anticipated.

The City of Doral Asks for Resident Involvement at the December 3rd Miami-Dade County Commission Meeting Regarding the Waste to Energy Incinerator
November 25, 2024
Doral, FL – For years, the City of Doral’s leadership and residents have come together, imploring Miami-Dade County to relocate the incinerator outside of our community where it would no longer cause detrimental wellness, health and quality of life affects to our families.
During a special meeting held on November 4th, the City Council unanimously instructed the City’s administration and attorneys to take all action necessary to prohibit the relocation of the incinerator in Doral, and provide a good faith offer of $40 million for its relocation.
“We are disappointed to learn of the newly released report by Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava where she recommends that the new incinerator be rebuilt in Doral,” stated Mayor Christi Fraga. “We will continue to fight for what is right and fair for our community.”
The City’s leadership remains committed to doing whatever possible to work with Miami-Dade County to see that the incinerator is moved to a more suitable location where so many families are not affected, and a location that provides a long-term, sustainable solution for all County residents.
Now is not the time to give up! We must remain united, active, and engaged as a community, fighting for this important and common goal. We ask that the community take part in the discussion on Tuesday, December 3rd, as the Miami-Dade County’s Board of Commissioners will discuss the facility and ultimately make a decision on its future location. This meeting is open to the public and you are invited to attend, as the City of Doral’s leadership will also be present in their continued efforts to have the incinerator moved outside of our community where it would no longer harm the health and quality of life of our residents.
The City will be providing two buses for transport from Doral Government Center (8401 NW 53rd Terrace) to Miami-Dade County’s Stephen P. Clark Government Center (first come, first serve). Residents are asked to arrive at the Doral Government Center by 6:30 a.m. on December 3rd – buses will depart promptly at 7:00 a.m. Free parking will be available in the Doral Government Center parking garage.
