Toward Zero Waste: Olympia's Waste ReSources Master Plan

In June 2006, Olympia City Council adopted a Zero Waste Resolution.  It establishes a vision for the City and a new direction for the Waste ReSources utility and gave rise to a new strategic and operational six-year plan. On November 26, 2007, Council adopted Toward Zero Waste: Olympia's Waste ReSources Plan 2008-2013.  Check out our Zero Waste/Reduction page to read the Plan.
