Welcome to the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board web site. Since 1990, we have worked to increase the efficiency and environmental effectiveness of the Twin City metro region's solid waste management system.
The SWMCB Waste Reduction toolkit provides resources to county and municipal staff and other partner organizations to educate and encourage consumers to "Get LESS!".
The SWMCB has grant funding available for
non-environmental organizations and schools to conduct innovative,
community-based waste reduction, toxicity reduction, and recycling
projects! Three types of grants are available. Applications are due
May 25, 2012.
All
materials from the March 28, 2012 SWMCB meeting are now available.
This
includes:
- Original Meeting Packet - Supplemental Meeting
Materials Packet - MPCA Reuse Study
Presentation - Community POWER Presentation - MPCA 2011 Reuse
