Solid Waste Management Plan


What is the Solid Waste Management Plan?                                
The Solid Waste Management Plan is a document that establishes goals and programs for the handling of solid waste in a manner that meets local needs and is consistent with North Carolina solid waste management priorities. It details the County's waste management practices. In the plan, local governments establish waste reduction goals and identify programs and policies necessary to meet them. The plan also describes the methods used to collect and transport solid waste and recyclables to disposal and processing facilities in an environmentally sound manner.  Solid Waste Management Plan
