 Solid Waste Integrated Resources Plan

The Bureau has committed to a stakeholder-driven planning process to help develop a Solid Waste Integrated Resources Plan (SWIRP) for the City of Los Angeles . This plan will be the road map for how the City will manage the solid resources generated in the City through the year 2025. The SWIRP is based upon the best lessons learned from the Bureau's other, very successful integrated resources planning (IRP) done for the wastewater program.

The key to the future success of this innovative approach to planning will be the involvement of stakeholders from the beginning of a five-year effort. The SRPT has identified key stakeholders and the studies, analyses, and approach that must be done to develop a SWIRP that emphasizes sustainability, resource conservation, source reduction, recycling, renewable energy, maximum material recovery, environmental protection, and economic feasibility.
