Solid Waste Management Plan

The Central Virginia Waste Management Authority (CVWMA) holds the solid waste management plan for central Virginia.

• Provide an integrated management strategy with supporting financial and implementation strategies to meet solid waste management objectives;
• Provide agreement on specific roles and responsibilities for the CVWMA and its member governments in the implementation of waste programs and services for meeting the region's waste management needs; and,
• Establish specific milestones, responsibilities, and a schedule for meeting solid waste management objectives.
