Local governments play a pivotal role in waste management. From food recovery and composting programs to stronger landfill methane controls, there are exciting opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while delivering local benefits. In this webinar, representatives from across the United States share key strategies and lessons learned as they work to reduce methane pollution in their communities. The webinar highlights resources and funding opportunities to support local governments with opportunity for live Q&A.
The Waste Methane Assessment Platform (WasteMAP) provides data and resources including landscape assessments, technical assistance memos, and strategy playbooks that are custom-tailored for specific regions to help waste management officials, municipalities, policy makers, and other key decision makers reduce methane emissions from landfills and dumpsites.
This memo series is designed to help policymakers, operators, and advocates take action to mitigate landfill methane.
This open-access web tool aims to create greater transparency on methane emissions data from solid waste while providing waste authorities — and the public — with actionable insights to reduce methane emissions in their communities.
