Municipal Waste Management Plan

In Cumberland County, this is accomplished by entering into agreements with both public and private facilities for disposal capacity. Requests for Interest in Providing Disposal Capacity result in disposal facilities being identified that have capacity to accept Cumberland County generated municipal waste. This is Cumberland County's way of assuring municipal waste generated within the county has a place to go.

Cumberland County 2022 - 2032 Municipal Waste Management Plan 

For the most recent plan revision, Cumberland County opted to perform the work in-house.  The 2022 - 2032 Municipal Waste Management Plan has been approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
