Solid Waste Advisory Committee

Back to Boards and Committees Home

The Solid Waste Advisory Committee is charged with advising the Montgomery County Executive and Council on issues related to the collection, transportation, and storage of solid wastes and evaluates the County's solid waste management plan. SWAC was established by Montgomery County Code Chapter 48-38. The Committee is composed of 15 voting members and one ex-officio non-voting member representing the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC). The membership includes representatives of the general public, the solid waste industry, business uses, and a representative of the Montgomery Chapter of the Maryland Municipal League, who serve three-year terms without compensation.
