Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan

The King County Council is currently considering the 2019 Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan proposed by the County Executive. The Solid Waste Management Plan presents strategies for managing King County’s solid waste over the next six years, with consideration of the next 20 years. The Solid Waste Management Plan includes information and policy proposals on recycling, trash collection, transfer station services, long-term waste disposal, and financing for the solid waste system.

The Solid Waste Management Plan will be considered by the Regional Policy Committee and the Committee of the Whole.
