The Solid Waste and Financial Assistance Program developed a set of "County Profiles" that provide a snapshot
of each county in Washington State. Information in the profiles includes: demographics, cities and their
population, contact names, budget information (if available), Coordinated Prevention Grant (CPG) funding, status
of local solid waste and moderate risk waste plans, a list of major solid waste activities, county priorities,
solid waste infrastructure, permitted solid waste carriers, diversion, recycling, composting, moderate risk
waste and solid waste disposal numbers, biosolids and litter collection efforts for the individual counties.
These profiles were compiled using 2001 and 2002 data. At this time a project is underway with Ecology and
local governments working to develop a data system that will provide information to update these profiles in the
future. Plans are to have this system operational in 2006. Meanwhile, the current "County Profiles" provide
a baseline of where counties were in 2001/2002.
Please select a county from the drop down list below or click the map to load the desired "County Profile".
