 Solid Waste Management Plan

This Solid Waste Management Plan was prepared pursuant to the Georgia Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Act and has been prepared according to the “Minimum Planning Standards and Procedures” promulgated by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). It is intended to intended to provide a framework to facilitate and encourage integrated, comprehensive solid waste management planning at the local, multi-jurisdictional, and regional levels.

The plan is organized according to five core-planning elements: waste reduction, collection, disposal, land limitation, and education and public involvement. These core elements are preceded by the “Waste Stream Analysis” and followed by the “Implementation Schedule”. Each element of the plan provides an inventory and assessment of the current status of solid waste management practices in the planning area, derives needs and goals from that assessment, and determines how an effective and comprehensive solid waste management program will be implemented within the jurisdiction.
