Solid Waste Master Plan

The Town of Gilbert is a municipality in the East Valley within the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. With incredible population growth over the past decade, the Town is committed to maintaining high-quality services and amenities while continuing to plan for growth and development. As the Public Works Department is key to providing services to Town residents, the Solid Wate & Recycling Services team is interested in collaborating with Master of Sustainability Leadership capstone students to explore how Gilbert might develop a Solid Waste Master Plan (SWMP) for the Town of Gilbert. AS Gilbert grows, the SWMP will drive decision-making and policy change for the Town in the coming years. The Town of Gilbert is open to new ideas to make their community more sustainable and resilient in the face of change. Related to solid waste, the Town of Gilbert is interested in learning about new and innovative ways to plan for solid waste services. This may include peer community review of other SWMPs around the state and country, stakeholder analysis and engagement planning, and proposal of new methods, programs, and initiatives to improve the sustainability of solid waste services.
