Solid Waste Action Plan Underway
Summit County is working on an Action Plan addendum to our 2018 Solid Waste Master Plan, and your input matters!
What’s an Action Plan Addendum?
In plain terms, it means we’re taking another look at the 2018 Solid Waste Master Plan to find practical strategies that will allow us to extend the life of our landfill another 10 years beyond current projections. Hitting this goal means cutting our waste by about one-third each year. We can't accomplish this without YOU, our community.
Is the community involved in this process?
Yes! The community's input will help shape the strategies Summit County implements to achieve our goal. In January of this year, we launched the public engagement efforts for this process via a Flash Vote survey to better understand the community’s current waste practices, priorities, and values. Now, we’re excited to share the results with you. View the survey dashboard HERE.
What’s Next? Take our latest survey!
We invite you to take part in the next phase of public engagement via our second Solid Waste Survey. This survey will be open until Friday, February 20, 2026. Solid waste management is a community-wide challenge that requires community-wide solutions. Your input and participation are critical to shaping our waste diversion future. Take the survey today!
