Relevant Committees
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is the state-designated planning agency for municipal solid waste in the 16-county region. NCTCOG works with local public and private sector leaders and the public to analyze regional information, needs, and issues to amend the North Central Texas Regional Solid Waste Management Plan.
The NCTCOG Environment and Development Department has updated the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan. The updated plan addresses emerging waste streams and evolving goals, while continuing to promote the reduction of waste and illegal dumping, the recycling and reuse of materials whenever possible, and the handling of waste safely at permitted facilities. Topics addressed include regional goals, demographics, solid waste infrastructure and demand, and modified implementation actions.
Located below are the most current Materials Management plan for both the North Central Texas Region and local cities.
NCTCOG, with assistance from Burns & McDonnell and the Regional Management Plan Subcommittee (RMPS) of the Resource Conservation Council (RCC) , is currently working to update both Volume I and Volume II of the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan. Notices for surveys, public meetings, and comments, as well as the draft documents will be posted on this webpage and the RMPS webpage. For any questions or more information, please contact Hannah Allen at hallen@nctcog.org or (817) 695-9215.

Regional Materials Management Plan
Planning for Sustainable Materials Management in North Central Texas
In 2015, the NCTCOG began the process to update the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan to reflect the evolution of solid waste management from 2002 to 2015. In the updated plan, NCTCOG included the goals of the regional solid waste advisory committee – the Resource Conservation Council and recommendations and actions to achieve greater impacts and address emerging trends. This plan also established metrics to have potential to assess impacts of programs and projects over a long-term horizon.
