The Solid Waste Authority of Broward County has prepared a first draft of a blueprint that will shape how its 28 member cities and Broward County will process, recycle, and dispose of waste. In June 2025, Broward County residents and business owners can attend one of two public outreach meetings to learn about the Solid Waste and Recycling Draft Master Plan, ask questions, and give feedback.
“Finishing the draft Master Plan is a big step forward for the Authority and for the future of waste and recycling in Broward County,” said Mayor Mike Ryan, Chair of the Governing Board and Executive Committee of the Solid Waste Authority of Broward County. “We will continue to engage residents and business owners as we work collaboratively to finalize the plan for the next 40 years.”
The Master Plan looks at population growth, environmental goals, new technologies, facility needs, and financial sustainability. In short, it’s a long-term roadmap for services like curbside recycling, landfill capacity, and composting.
Residents and business owners are invited to attend one of two public meetings. The same information will be shared at both meetings. For those who can’t attend in person, the meetings will be streamed live on Zoom and YouTube. Visit www.browardswa.org/live to access the meeting links.
