WANTED:  YOUR INPUT INTO THE LATEST SOLID WASTE PLAN

The Solid Waste Division, City of Rapid City, is updating our solid waste plan.  Input from the public is needed as to what we should be doing with solid waste in the next 5 to 20 years.  Should we be looking at waste to energy, mandatory recycling, improving landfill operations, other issues that you see needing attention?

Your comments will go directly to Jerry Wright, Superintendent, Solid Waste Operations, and become part of the collection of information for consideration in the development of the plan.

Your participation, interest, and input are most important in making this a valid and productive planning process.  Comments will be collected from June, 2009 through October, 2009.

Thank You.
