Solid Waste


The Solid Waste Program deals with the CEHA enforcement responsibilities regarding solid waste handling and disposal, litter control and inspections of facilities such as landfills, compost facilities and transfer stations. The majority of compost sites were brought into compliance, and corrective actions were taken to remediate an unmaintained, closed municipal landfill. Other activities included:
  • 90 routine facility inspections
  • 62 complaint-generated inspections
  • 15 enforcement actions
