General Notice on the Development of a New Statewide Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP)

The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received a Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a new Statewide Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) for Virginia. DEQ aspires to produce a state SWMP that reflects the current needs of the industry and serves as a road map for the future. DEQ has hired Resource Recycling System (RRS) as the contractor for preparing the plan.

An information meeting will be held March 4, 2025, at 10 AM, at the Department of Environmental Quality, Bank of America Building, 3rd Floor Conference Room, Richmond, VA 23219.  This meeting is open to the public and any member of the public may attend to provide input on the development of a new SWMP. If you are unable to attend the meeting to provide input on development of a new SWMP, you may do so via the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall until March 10, 2025. Additionally, DEQ accepts written input by hand-delivery, e-mail, or postal mail to the contact person below.  Written input will be accepted until March 10, 2025.
