Solid and Hazardous Waste Management

SCAG's decision makers adopt regional solid waste policies that will enable the region to support state solid waste goals while growing in accordance with SCAG's adopted plans, such as the Regional Transportation Plan, Compass Growth Vision, and Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide.

SCAG is responsible for preparing the Southern California Hazardous Waste Management Plan pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code.
