Tamarac City Hall {City of Tamarac}
Tamarac will continue to participate in the interlocal agreement with Broward County for solid waste disposal.
During the May 13 meeting, the commission passed a resolution to approve the first amendment to the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Broward County for the Solid Waste Disposal and Recyclable Materials Processing Authority.
This agreement was established to provide the county and participating municipalities with a coordinated regional approach to solid waste disposal, recycling processing, waste reduction, and long-term system planning, according to city information.
The resolution states that the City first entered into an ILA on August 23, 2023, which created the Solid Waste Disposal and Recycling Authority of Broward County, and that this agreement is the first amendment to that.
Through regional cooperation, the authority will promote cost efficiency and reliable solid waste services for county residents. The agreement requires the adoption of a master plan and any necessary amendments to the facilities to ensure the continued operation of the authority, according to city information.
The city’s annual solid waste program consists of three primary service components: Collection, Disposal, and Recycling. Based on 2025 operational data, the city managed approximately 35,769.45 total tons of material through its residential programs at a cost of $88,400, down from $88,582 for FY2024.
According to the city, Tamarac’s participation in the authority will mean lower, more predictable waste-disposal costs, joint planning with neighboring cities, and access to more efficient recycling and disposal services. The agreement also provides for ongoing improvements in waste management through regional collaboration, resulting in enhanced service reliability and the ability to shape policies guiding future waste reduction and system upgrades.
