Author(s) Waste 2 Resources Program
Description In June 2012, the Washington Department of Ecology’s (Ecology) Waste 2 Resources (W2R) Program requested the Governor’s Office of Regulatory Assistance (ORA) help facilitate meetings for the W2R Advisory Committee (W2RAC). W2RAC, which is composed of a broad cross-section of solid waste stakeholders, provides input to Ecology on solid waste issues.

In 2011 and 2012, the Washington State Legislature passed budget provisos limiting W2R’s ability to fund activities under one of their two main funding sources, the Waste Reduction, Recycling, and Litter Control Account (WRRLCA). The provisos were thought to reflect a level of discord among stakeholders in the solid waste industry.

ORA was tasked with planning and facilitating three meetings in July, September and November to help W2RAC find agreement on priorities for spending a portion of the WRRLCA funds; specifically, the 30% dedicated to waste reduction and recycling activities. The overall purpose of each W2RAC meeting was for the committee to agree on priorities for spending the 30% portion of the WRRLCA funds designated for waste reduction and recycling activities.

The following is a summary of the process, progress made, and next steps for W2RAC. All meeting agendas, handouts and notes referenced in this report are available on the W2RAC website.
