Citizen’s Advisory Committee

The Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CAC) is a group of waste industry representatives and citizens of the District (Monroe County) with an interest in waste and environmental issues. They serve to advise the District’s board of directors and management on policy, program, and budget issues.

Members typically meet monthly and can also serve on task forces studying a specific issue or problem to make recommendations to the board or take action on a project directly. All regular meetings and records are open to the public so you can attend, watch recordings, or review minutes from any meeting.
