Miami-Dade County officials unveiled a long-term plan Friday to more than double the county's recycling and waste diversion rate while efforts to build a new waste-to-energy incinerator remain at a standstill more than three years after the county's previous facility was destroyed by fire. Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced the county's Zero Waste Master Plan, which aims to increase recycling and waste diversion from 32% to 77% by 2039 through expanded recycling, composting, food donation programs and other sustainability initiatives.
