Broward cities will vote on the future of Broward's trash
The Solid Waste Authority was created in 2023 when 28 cities and the county signed an interlocal agreement (ILA). The organization has just ratified its Solid Waste Masterplan that seeks to lay the groundwork for the next 40 years of waste disposal.
Broward County only recycles 38% of its trash — well below the state’s recommended 75% threshold.
“We used to have 60% recycling, which is really good. We had two waste to energy plants at the time, and granted, that allows for recycling — or it's given credit for recycling — but we are down now in the lower 30s. We've lost a generation, honestly,” said Broward County Commissioner Beam Furr.
