Recycling and reducing waste

Reducing waste and recycling is a goal of Ecology's Solid Waste Management program. Waste management relies on partnerships between state and local governments and the private sector. County governments and local health departments develop solid waste regulations and management plans, and we support them with technical assistance and guidance.
