Once finalized, these objectives will form the basis for the development of a Scope of Work used to seek a consulting firm to assist the County with developing a Solid Waste Master Plan that will plot out how to achieve these goals. The objective is to: x Develop a comprehensive and easily understandable Solid Waste Master plan, with identifiable action items and a plan summary; x Develop a comprehensive strategy that by 2045 will lead to “Zero Waste,” as defined by the County; x Integrate the Plan’s efforts with the ongoing climate action plans of the County, the Municipalities, the University and the University Health Care system. x Select a sustainable business model that incorporates the financial, social and environmental; including carbon footprint reduction impacts on our community; x Identify future programs, initiatives, facilities, and infrastructure to achieve the “Zero Waste” goal, as defined by the County while ensuring the long-term financial stability of the County’s solid waste and recycling program; x Identify strategies to increase public education and participation in waste reduction and waste diversion programs through awareness of reduction, reuse, recycling and composting; while addressing ordinance and enforcement requirements; x Develop and include an equitable comprehensive public engagement process that effectively includes input by the general public and key interest groups, including the municipal and university partners, and keeps the public informed and updated on the process; and x Ensure all proposed programs and policies are in regulatory compliance with local, state and federal requirements.
