Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam said the technology that Miami-Dade County plans to use for a new waste incinerator should not be in anyone's backyard.
Miami-Dade County wants to build the biggest waste-to-energy plant in the country and recently released new conceptual renderings .
"This issue has been brought to Miramar without even consulting us - without even letting us know," Messam said. "We just happened to find out that the airport westside was being recommended as the site for this 4,000-ton-per-day garbage being burned."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is standing with Miramar since the residents affected are predominantly Black.
