Background Information:
On September 28, 1999, Ordinance No. 11837 was passed by the Miami City
Commission which amended Chapter 22, entitled Garbage and Other Solid Waste, of the
City Code to allow regulatory permits for providing non-exclusive commercial solid
waste services with commercial franchises to qualified firms. There are currently 15
commercial solid waste franchisees operating in the City and last fiscal year, remitted
$10.8 million in fees. As permissible per Section 166.221, Florida Statutes, the
department, with the assistance of GSA, will be instituting a yearly inspection of all
vehicles that the franchisees use to conduct business of whatever source within the City
boundaries. The annual inspection is anticipated to generate revenues in excess of
$100,000.
On October 15, 1991, Miami -Dade County (County) adopted Ordinance No. 91-123
which required the County and municipalities to establish commercial and multi -family
recycling and the enforcement thereof In talking with the County's Solid Waste
Management and reviewing cases that the County has cited within the City of Miami,
enforcement of the ordinance has the potential to generate annual revenues in excess of
$50,000.
The proposed amendments_ and sections that are being created will primarily be used to
regulate franchisees, institute a safety inspection program and regulate commercial waste
collection.
