Coconut Creek spurns Waste Management's offer; to fight dump's expansion plans at county today



The Coconut Creek City Commission during its special meeting Monday

Waste Management’s attempt to corral Coconut Creek’s longstanding opposition to expanding the mountainous, odoriferous Monarch Hill landfill with offers of cash and environmental incentives fell flat Monday afternoon when city commissioners voted unanimously to reject it.

City staff, fearing the Broward County Commission will vote 24 hours later to allow Waste Management to take the north Broward dump’s height up to 325 feet – growing the equivalent of a 10-story building – and add 24.6 acres to its footprint, hastily negotiated the proposal with the Houston-based trash disposal giant. It includes at least $2.5 million in cash for recycling “education,” environmental considerations, and up to $30 million in payouts to the city if the company seeks future increases in height, footprint or slope at the landfill.
