Solid Waste ProgramActivities of the solid waste program are aimed at ensuring that solid waste materials are properly collected, stored, and disposed of in a manner that reduces the probability for disease transmission, nuisance, and environmental degradation. The "Minimum Functional Standards for Solid Waste Handling (Chapter 173-304 WAC)" and "Criteria for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (Chapter 173-351 WAC)" delineates permitting authority of solid waste handling facilities to local health departments.
