Coconut Creek commissioners voted unanimously on Monday to approve the settlement, which will not prevent an expansion. Commissioner Joshua Rydell said it was a victory.

“The landfill is eventually going to close ... we were able to get an agreement with Waste Management to guarantee the closure of a landfill,” Rydell said.

In February, Broward County commissioners voted to approve a horizontal expansion of the landfill that Waste Management operates at 2700 Wiles Road, in Pompano Beach.
