Materials Management Planning

New Materials Management Plans have officially been called for

New Materials Management Plans are in the approval and development process. The new law establishes statewide recycling goals and standards, and the Materials Management Plans will identify an implementation strategy to meet those goals.

Current Solid Waste Management Plans will remain in effect until a new Materials Management Plan is approved.

Materials management planning is a program designed to guide the management of counties’ materials, with an emphasis on increasing sustainable practices, such as recycling and composting, in addition to ensuring safe disposal options.

These materials can include food waste, yard clippings, recyclables, other source separated materials, and solid waste.

Materials Management Plan grants

Grants are available to counties for the development, implementation, and maintenance of the new Materials Management Plans (MMP). To apply, counties should submit a work program approved by their Materials Management Planning Committee (MMPC).
