Commercial Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee
Accomplishments
The CSWMAC was established in April 1999 for the purpose of advising on issued of
solid waste management within the City of Miami. Specifically, the objectives of the
committee are;
• To provide advice and recommendations to the City Commission concerning
solid waste management in conjunction and cooperation with the
Department of Solid Waste and commercial hauler (franchise).
• To provide advice and recommendations regarding the levy and fines or
warnings (as established by the Commission or the DSW) and suspension
and revocation of non-exclusive franchises or failure to comply with City
ordinance and regulations related to solid waste management.
• To offer recommendations related to the establishment of suggested
guidelines relating to the business of commercial solid waste management.
• To negotiate with haulers applying for or renewing valid non-exclusive
franchises.
• To provide for all reports required by law.
• To ensure the continued compliance of the City's Solid Waste Ordinance
(Chapter 22) in conjunction with the specified regulations of Florida Statutes
403.7048.
Regular meetings of the committee were held throughout FY'06 and the board has served
the purpose for which it was created. Significant discussions and accomplishments were
achieved by the committee that address community needs. The following is an overview
of these accomplishments:
1. Ongoing dialogue and enforcement of the hours of operation for
collection, per Chapter 22. Resultantly, as a result of aggressive night
surveillance only five (5) instances of early morning pickups were
experienced during the calendar year.
2. Amended Chapter 22 to increase fines for illegal dumping and littering to
$500.00.
3. Recommended and established a bag program for the Downtown Corridor
for franchisees.
• Ongoing franchisee in -kind service delivery for annual events (i.e.
Baywash, Baynanza, etc.).
At this point in time there is no other board either public or private, which serves the
same purpose or function of this board. The current ordinance should remain intact as to
the purpose and function of this board.
Additionally, the board's membership should remain as established and there is an
indirect cost via the membership participation at meetings to facilitate and ensure the
success of this board.
