Commercial Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee
Accomplishments
The Commercial Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee (CSWMAC) was
established in April 1999 to discuss solid waste management issues within the
City of Miami and continues to serve the purpose for which it was created.
Although the CSWMAC committee did not convene during the 2018 calendar
year, the committee members provided very insightful and valuable input to
update the Chapter 22 legislative revisions for the collection of waste and
recyclables within the City of Miami during 2017. The Chapter 22 amendments
were approved in the June 2017, City Commission meeting. Amongst the
revisions included stricter sanitation code fines for violations involving illegal
dumping, certificate of use, solid waste residential and commercial property non -
compliances and new landscaper permitting requirements to operate within the
city limits. The revised code amendments continue to be enforced throughout the
2018 calendar year and the feedback and expertise from the CSWMAC
committee was instrumental in this legislative process.
In addition, the committee has cultivated potential partnerships with private
commercial waste haulers to advance the Department of Solid Waste recycling
initiatives for businesses and multifamily properties. This partnership continues to
flourish and prosper due to the commitment and dedication of the CSWMAC
committee.
Currently, there is no other committee either public or private, which serves the
same function of this board. Please note there was no financial impact for this
committee in 2018.
