The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) invites community members to participate in a survey to inform the region’s five-year update to the Solid Waste Management Plan. The goal of this regional plan is to help Albemarle, Charlottesville, Greene, and Fluvanna Counties achieve state-mandated recycling goals and reduce landfill waste over the next 20 years. 

The TJPDC is seeking your input on waste management strategies and suggestions for enhancing the local system. Your feedback will help determine the future of waste services, helping us understand what works and what needs to change to make the system more convenient, effective, and efficient for residents like you.

The survey will remain open through December 15th, takes about 5 minutes to complete, and is available here: https://arcg.is/GuiWf.

The Thomas Jefferson Solid Waste Management Plan is required by the state of Virginia and is a key component of the local solid waste management strategy. This plan describes how the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene and the City of Charlottesville will meet their solid waste needs on a 20-year planning horizon and implement EPA’s solid waste hierarchy; prioritizing reducing, reusing, and recycling materials.
