MIAMI (WSVN) – Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said she is abandoning a controversial plan to build a new incinerator near Miramar.

In a memo sent this weekend, Levine Cava confirmed that the county no longer plans to replace the trash bin in Doral that burned down in 2023.

The plan to rebuild it near Miramar was met with protests.

The mayor said she now wants to explore building a landfill outside the county.

County commissioners will discuss next steps in February.
