Commissioner Raquel Regalado's District 7 office presents this webinar with the Miami-Dade Department of Solid Waste Management on how to turn waste into a resource.
Did you know nearly 40% of what goes into Miami-Dade's blue recycling carts doesn't belong there?
Department leaders break down how the county's recycling system works — from curbside pickup to material recovery facilities — and what residents can do to reduce contamination and help turn waste into real value.
Topics covered:
Why recycling matters for landfill space, county revenues, and sustainability
How materials travel from your blue cart to end markets
The #1 contamination problem in Miami-Dade (hint: it's not what you think)
New tools like the Scrapp app | Zero-waste simplified
How students and residents can be champions for change
