Market research for municipal solid waste management solutions

Miami-Dade County provides an integrated waste management system that provides collection, transfer, and disposal services to include landfills and historically included a waste-toenergy facility. The County’s Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) provides waste collection services twice a week to more than 350,000 households in a 320-square-mile waste collection service area. DSWM operates 13 Neighborhood Trash and Recycling Centers and administers the contracted collection of household recyclables. Historically, the County produces over five million tons of waste annually, of which DSWM disposal system processes more than 2.4 million tons. 

The County is conducting market research to garner industry comments and solutions regarding potential future projects for a comprehensive solid waste management approach. The County is undertaking this effort as part of a review and analysis to further explore all available delivery methods for the disposal of waste. Responses are due Monday, April 14.
