The Solid Waste and Sustainability Advisory Panel (SWSAP) and the Governor’s Recycling Council (GRC) are two separate stakeholder advisory groups that together make up the Solid Waste and Recycling Advisors.  Their collective charge is to advise how to further the state’s solid waste, sustainability, and recycling goals.  Their deliberations over the past few years have culminated in the development of two separate but complementary reports.

Many of the recommendations will require legislation.  As the next step of legislation development progresses, it is extremely important to obtain support from representatives from a variety of interest groups. Education and outreach materials have been developed about the SWSAP and GRC that may be utilized by organizations to assist with educating their members about the recommendations from these groups.
