Take action with ZWMC!
On July 22, DEP staff provided a briefing for the Council on the County’s planning work for the future disposal of Solid Waste. Video is available on County Council's YouTube Channel. Staff report is available on Montgomery County Council website.
ZWMC team is grateful for the active participation of councilmembers at the Briefing and supports the DEP effort to issue an RFP to find a safer and less costly solution to our waste management needs. DEP’s analysis showed how costly it is to continue our use of the incinerator and their proposal to adopt long-haul and use a landfill is the solution that we fully support.
Montgomery County Council is expected to hear from the County and the Department of Environmental Protection about the long-term plans for Solid Waste Management - to close the waste incinerator in Dickerson and using a landfill or to continue trash incineration.
