Solid Waste Advisory Committee
Washington State law requires each County to establish a local Solid Waste
Advisory Committee (SWAC) to assist in the development of programs and policies
concerning solid waste handling and disposal. In addition, Counties may not
submit a Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan without the active assistance
and participation of the SWAC.
The Kitsap County SWAC consists of fourteen members representing a balance
of interests including representatives of the Board of Commissioners, local
jurisdictions, tribes, the U.S. Navy, local business, and the waste management
industry. The SWAC elects a Chairman and Vice Chairman at the beginning of each
year to govern the committee. The Chair conducts all meetings, acts as a liaison
between the SWAC and the Solid Waste Division, sets the agenda and arranges for
timely presentations. Division staff support the SWAC by scheduling,
advertising, and recording meetings; mailing materials to members; and
maintaining necessary records.
