Solid Waste Plan Work Group
The Solid Waste Plan Work Group was formed in 2005 to develop an integrated comprehensive solid waste plan for Orange County with the goal of meeting the County's 61% per person waste reduction goal. The Work Group consists of an elected official from each jurisdiction, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and Orange County, solid waste staff from each jurisdiction and the full membership of the County's Solid Waste Advisory Board. The Work Group meets several times a year to develop recommendations to the Board of Orange County Commissioners on various aspects of the plan. Orange County is required to produce an update every three years to its comprehensive ten years solid waste plan.
The Three Year update to the State Solid Waste Plan was adopted by the Board of Orange County Commissioners December 6 after a public meeting September 29 and subsequent presentations and adoption by all three Towns. The final version of the update included revisions to the plan that resulted from the public and elected officials’ comments. You can view the final version of the plan here:
