Strategic Plan to Reduce Waste

The County is committed to reducing waste and building a cleaner, more sustainability future for our communities. On September 11, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved the 2024 Climate Action Plan also referred to as the CAP. The CAP aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the unincorporated areas of the County. The CAP requires that the County update its Strategic Plan to Reduce Waste by 2028. The updated plan will outline how the County can reach goals to reduce waste 80% by 2030 and 90% by 2045.

To update the plan, the County will review how other communities reduce waste and see which ideas could work in the unincorporated areas. The updated plan will build upon the County’s 2017 Strategic Plan to Reduce Waste.

The County wants to hear from residents, businesses, and local partners. Your input will help make sure the waste reduction options meet community needs.

Why community feedback matters:

Communities and their members may have different waste and recycling concerns. Your input will help:

• Identify barriers to recycling
• Provide an understanding of what matters most to your community
• Identify opportunities to increase waste diversion and achieve the County's goals.
