The draft solid waste plan covers activities from 2023 through 2034. Major points of the plan include:
Complying with the goal of providing recycling opportunity to at least 80% of the district population through direct provision of
recycling services in each county and through private efforts of local governments and recyclers.
Designating specific facilities
to receive waste and instituting a waiver fee for out-of-district facilities that wish to receive our waste.
Providing education
and technical assistance to all sectors (general public, schools, communities, businesses, and industry) to reduce waste and increase
recycling.
Manage hard-to-dispose materials through the private sector wherever possible, and encourage residents to purchase
only items for which there is adequate disposal or recycling services.
Encouraging the purchase of recycled content products
and support development of new markets for recyclable materials.
Offering recycling processing services to wider range of customers
including haulers and communities.
The plan keeps the priority of reducing dumping of trash at recycling sites and along roadways. The plan, in its entirety, may be viewed by clicking the link below.
