Broward County delays vote on Monarch Hill height increase in face of opposition by cities, residents

Waste Management trucks hauling trash loads to the top of its Monarch Hill landfill in North Broward.

After a big build-up to a final decision, the Broward County Commission on Tuesday evening voted unanimously to put off for two months a decision on whether to let Waste Management supersize its Monarch Hill landfill to a height of 325 feet – 20 feet higher than the Statue of Liberty.

About 200 people showed up at County Hall – many bused in by Coconut Creek, the Creek’s large Wynmoor adult community and Deerfield Beach – to protest the county’s anticipated support for Waste Management’s proposals. So many that an alternate room was opened to accommodate the overflow crowd.
