All Trash and Recycling Program activities are regularly reported through annual reports and as part of the annual budget, which is presented to the City Council.
The Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) is a document that helps the City develop ways to manage the trash and recycling program. It is prepared in accordance with DEQ requirements and State regulation 9 VAC 20-130-10 et seq. which must address solid waste planning in an approved Planning Unit or Region.
We plan for the future by looking at what we have done so far. We also think about how our community will grow and the new technologies that may be available to help us improve recycling and reduce the amount of trash going to landfill.
Our new SWMP will help us set goals and objectives for meeting the needs of our citizens for the next 20 years.
