SUMMARY: Kitsap County is required by state law to maintain a coordinated, comprehensive solid
waste management plan to direct and guide solid waste managementj throughout the county. State
Law (RCW 70.95.094) and guidelines issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology
(Ecology) also require cities within the County to either adopt the County's plan or develop their own
plans. The City of Bremerton has agreed to participate in the County's solid waste planning process
through Interlocal Agreement KC -18408.
These plans are required to be reviewed every five years, and revised as needed to remain current.
After review of the existing plan, adopted in 2011, the County determi j ed that the plan needed to be
updated. This proposed Plan update addresses changes that have occurred in the past five years
and provides a number of recommendations for the future of solid waste management in Kitsap
County. Most of these recommendations provide additional direction to existing policies and
programs, based on the goals to decrease waste disposed through waste reduction, recycling, and
composting, as well as reducing environmental impacts related to solid waste generation and
management.
