Solid Waste Advisory Council

The New Jersey Solid Waste Management Act (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-1 et seq.) requires that a solid waste advisory council be appointed in each county to assist in the development and formulation of the district solid waste management plan and establishes minimum criteria for the composition of the council.  

In accordance with the District Solid Waste Management Plan, the SWAC shall include, at a minimum, a mayor of one of the municipalities in the County that hosts a major solid waste disposal facility or their designee, a representative of the solid waste collection and disposal industry, a sludge generator, a municipal recycling coordinator, a member of the agricultural community, an environmentalist, a private citizen and County and State government officials.  

SWAC meets on an as-needed basis to review, consider and advise the Board on proposed amendments and updates to the Plan and may meet on a regular schedule to consider matters relevant to solid waste and recycling planning in the County.
