The Monroe County Municipal Waste Management Authority is responsible for the county’s long-term management of municipal waste.

We are responsible for the planning of processing, transportation, storage, and disposal of municipal waste. We incorporate an integrated solid waste management system by evaluating local needs and conditions. The Authority prioritizes waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting before proper disposal. Our primary responsibility is to implement and enforce an effective system to ensure the well-being of our community and environment.

The Monroe County Waste Authority has created and hosted many programs and events to help our residents:
