Genesee County Solid Waste Management

Genesee County Solid Waste Management Plan
The Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended, Part 115, Solid Waste Management, and its Administrative Rules, requires that each county have a Solid Waste Management Plan Update every 5 years and that it be approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. The Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission is the Designated Planning Agency (DPA) responsible for plan updates and implementation.

As of February 2015, the MDEQ approved the Genesee County Solid Waste Management Plan Amendment. Implementation of the Plan began at the time of approval.

The Ordinance requires that all solid waste haulers that collect, transport, deliver, or dispose of solid waste generated within Genesee County obtain a waste hauler permit as well as file quarterly reports detailing waste handled during the quarter.
