Solid Waste Program
GCRPC is the state designated planning agency for solid waste management issues in the region. The Solid Waste Program reviews applications for landfill permits and solid waste grants. Each year GCRPC provides oversights on Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) funding for local government projects, including source reduction, recycling, local illegal dumping enforcement, solid waste studies, household hazardous waste collections, and public education efforts. GCRPC provides technical assistance to local governments on solid waste issues and continuing education opportunities for local governments and solid waste professionals.
Solid Waste Grants
Using state funding generated from selected landfill fees, Texas councils of governments such as GCRPC are able to support eligible projects within its jurisdiction that help implement the regional solid waste management plan. Grants are awarded on a biennium basis.
Regional Solid Waste Management Planning
The Regional Solid Waste Management Plan outlines the activities and priorities that will be initiated in the region throughout the planning period of 2022-2042. The plan includes population and growth patterns, economic activity, waste generation and characteristics, waste management systems, summary of needs and problems, goals and objectives, and an action plan for the region.
