Pinellas County Solid Waste Needs Residents to “Talk Trash”

Pinellas County Solid Waste is seeking feedback from residents, businesses and business partners about its existing solid waste operations, programs, facilities, technologies, and countywide recycling and diversion programs, as well as ideas for future projects through a new online survey.

The survey is the first public engagement step in the development of the 30-year Solid Waste Master Plan, which is currently underway. Citizen and customer feedback is vital to ensure that the County’s award-winning integrated solid waste management system aligns and sustains its existing programs to meet current needs, while evaluating, planning, developing and implementing new programs and technologies that will attend to the needs of residents and businesses for the next 30 years.

Planning over a 30-year horizon is an industry best practice, enabling the county, its municipalities and business partners to best determine where to focus key efforts to help extend the life of the landfill, preserve and enhance the environment and add to the overall quality of life in Pinellas County.

The Solid Waste Master Plan Survey is currently available online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/pinellascountymasterplan through the end of February.
