What is the Solid Waste Management Plan?
The Tacoma-Pierce County Solid Waste Management Plan is a planning tool for the management of solid waste activities in Pierce County for the next twenty (20) years. The plan's goals, policies and recommendations provide elected officials with guidelines for the development of programs, capital facilities and annual budgets.
The plan provides a legal basis for the City of Tacoma, Pierce County, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, other jurisdictions, and government agencies to make permitting decision on solid waste or recycling facilities.
