Why do we have solid waste management districts?
Solid waste planning in Ohio began in response to serious landfill capacity and environmental concerns in the 1980s. House Bill 592 (1988) established Solid Waste Management Districts (SWMDs) to ensure responsible waste management, reduce landfill reliance, and promote recycling. The Clinton County SWMD develops and implements a locally adopted plan that meets state requirements while addressing the specific needs of our community.

Governance Structure – Roles and Responsibilities
The Clinton County Solid Waste Management District is comprised of two governing bodies: the Solid Waste Policy Committee and the Board of Directors. The seven member Policy Committee serves as the planning and policy-setting body, with the primary responsibility of writing and obtaining an approved solid waste plan. The three County Commissioners comprise the Board of Directors and serve as the operational and implementation authority. The Policy Committee sets the direction and the Board delivers the results. Together, they ensure strategic direction and operational accountability. |
