Solid waste plan
Ann Arbor is rethinking waste by taking a fresh look at recycling, trash and compost operations in the City. This strategic approach to future solid waste services will culminate in the creation of a new Solid Waste Resource Management Plan (SWRMP), which will set the direction of solid waste operations in Ann Arbor in the years to come.
Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
The City hired CB&I (Chicago Bridge and Iron Company Environmental and Infrastructure, Inc.) to examine the City's MRF Operating Contract and compare it with other contracts and business models for MRFs across the country. Recognizing that there have been changes to the recycling market over time, the goal of this study was to evaluate alternative business models and develop a more streamlined contract that reflects current industry best practices and standards.
Solid waste regulations
The regulations that govern solid waste disposal and curbside collection can be found under City Code Chapter 26 of the City of Ann Arbor. These regulations can be found through
Legistar.
