Solid Waste Management Plan

The RDOS is updating its Solid Waste Management Plan to help guide decisions about new programs for managing waste for the next 20 years. We will need your input as we investigate new and better programs to help residents and businesses reduce, reuse and recycle, extending the lifespan of our landfills and making the best use of our tax dollars.

Advisory Committees

In order to ensure input from across the region, two committees have been formed. The Public Advisory Committee consists of volunteers from throughout the region to help provide input on what options the public might like to see and which ones are more suitable. The Technical Advisory Committee consists of local government staff and waste management industry reps that can help identify options and costs for presentation to the public at a later date.

Each committee will meet about five times throughout the planning process. Meeting agendas, minutes and reports can be found here. The committees’ insights, along with the information collected during surveys and open houses, will help shape the future of waste management programs for the region.
