The Policy Committee is responsible for developing and monitoring the implementation of the goals and strategies for the Solid Waste District in waste reduction and recycling. State Law mandates specific representation for each county to assure that policies are beneficial to all district residents.

The Policy Committee is comprised of seven representatives from each of the four counties in our District. An additional member is then appointed by the committee, since there is an even number of counties in the District. The County representatives are as follows:

1) The President of the Board of County Commissioners (or his/her designee)
2) The Chief Executive Officer of the largest Municipality (Mayor or designee)
3) A Member representing Townships within the County
4) The Health Commissioner of the largest health district (or designee)

Those four members are then responsible for appointing three additional members.

5) A member representing industrial, commercial or institutional generators of solid wastes
6) A member representing general interests of citizens with no conflict of interest through affiliation with a waste management company or a significant generator of solid wastes
7) A member representing the public

At the present time there are several vacant positions on the Policy Committee.
Industrial representative #5 - Fairfield, Licking, & Perry Counties; Citizen Representative #6 - Coshocton & Fairfield Counties; Public Representative #7 - Licking County.
