Solid Waste Management
The Solid Waste Management program, funded by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), includes the development of a regional solid waste management plan, technical assistance and the coordination of efforts for entities in the region addressing solid waste issues including solid waste management, recycling and code enforcement.
Solid Waste Grant Funding
WCTCOG may have grant funds available for local municipal and county governments, special districts and school districts for recycling, waste reduction projects and local environmental enforcement programs. The grants are to be used to foster projects and designed to reduce the waste stream into local landfills, must provide for cooperation between public and private entities (whenever possible) and may not create a competitive disadvantage over private industries. Since 1996 WCTCOG has helped fund over $3.3 million in solid waste reduction projects. For additional information, please contact the Natural Resources Department or the TCEQ website.
Resource Library
A library containing materials related to solid waste disposal and recycling is maintained at the WCTCOG. The library contains educational materials for schools, brochures, videotapes, TCEQ regulations and other solid waste items. The library is available for use from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
