City of Joplin seeking public input on solid waste master plan

 


(From the City of Joplin)

The City of Joplin invites residents to participate in a discussion about trash, recycling, and yard waste services in our community. We are in the initial stages of developing a Solid Waste Master Plan (SWMP), and our residents’ involvement in this process is essential to its success. Citizen input will inform future City services related to trash, recycling, and yard waste.

Please join us Wednesday, April 6 at Joplin City Hall to participate in the City’s first round of Solid Waste Informational Open Houses. These events will run from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers on the fifth floor. Residents are welcome to join at any point during either session as both sessions will present the same information.








The City of Joplin aims to optimize existing solid waste systems and facilities, evaluate potential additional or improved service offerings, and develop measurable goals for diversion in accordance with Missouri Solid Waste Management Law, Section 260.250. The SWMP will establish priorities and an implementation plan to achieve diversion goals, improve customer satisfaction with solid waste services, provided, and plan for necessary infrastructure for the next 20 years.

If you are unable to attend the informational open house event, you are welcome to share your thoughts via our online survey, here.

WHAT: Solid Waste Informational Open House

WHEN: Wednesday, April 6 from 2-4 p.m. or 5-7 p.m.

WHERE: Joplin City Hall, Council Chambers - 5th Floor
