Regional Solid Waste Facilities
Metro oversees the region’s garbage and recycling system, a responsibility that includes ensuring that all solid waste generated in the region is managed in a manner that protects public health and safety and safeguards the environment.
All solid waste generated inside Metro’s boundary must be taken to a Metro authorized facility – a “designated facility." This applies to all waste collected or generated in the tri-county region.
The Metro Council has found that the following disposal sites and solid waste facilities meet the criteria set forth in Metro Code Chapter 5.05 and are designated as part of Metro’s solid waste system.
