Doral Trash Plant

“Mayor Levine Cava’s willingness to listen to diverse voices from varied walks of life, experiences, and disciplines — and then recalibrate her position based on new data — is a hallmark of leadership,” Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam said in a statement.

The resignation of Miami-Dade County’s trash chief last week came just months after a fire at the Covanta trash incinerator plant in Doral shut it down indefinitely. Without it, the county’s trash is filling up landfills — quickly. Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales and Commissioner Raquel Regalado told WLRN how they view the situation.
