Miami, FL – Miami-Dade County officials announced a new crackdown on illegal dumping this week, highlighting the environmental and community dangers posed by the practice.
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz joined Hialeah Mayor Jacqueline Garcia-Roves, the Hialeah Police Department, Senator Rene Garcia, and Commissioner Bermudez on Thursday to emphasize enforcement and education efforts.
Illegal dumping, they said, threatens marine life, pollutes farmland, and diminishes the quality of life across neighborhoods and beaches. Sheriff Cordero-Stutz stressed that the county’s illegal dumping unit is expanding collaboration with local agencies to keep streets and waterways clean.
The campaign will combine stronger enforcement with public awareness and community outreach, ensuring residents and businesses are held accountable for improper waste disposal.
“Together, we will protect and preserve the quality of life that makes Miami-Dade County so special,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Community members are encouraged to report dumping and support cleanup efforts as leaders work to safeguard the environment.
