Editor's Notes
- Resources include local reporting, and state report data. Every locality’s program is unique, developed to address their own requirements. Geography and density of development are factors in program development. Public and private sectors providers may provide services. Private companies may provide direct contracts with individuals, companies, or multifamily residences, or they may contract with a jurisdiction for curbside or facility collections. Local waste managers are experts, and Northern Virginia jurisdictions provide superb services. Local waste managers and their staff have significant expertise and depth of knowledge of their programs.
