Solid Waste Plans

The proper management of household waste is a public health issue that is managed through the planning and implementation of Solid Waste Management Plans. NEMCOG assists the Counties as their Designated Planning Agency in the development and implementation of their County Plans. The public strongly supports recycling throughout the region. It is, however, a program with high capital costs for processing and collection. Rural communities struggle with funding the costs as demand for public services increase while tax dollars decline to support the demand. NEMCOG continues to support recycling efforts in the region.
