The Local Task Force was formed in response to the 1989 California Integrated Waste Management Act (AB 939). It serves as an advisory board to the Marin County Hazardous and Solid Waste Management Joint Powers Authority (JPA).
This advisory group is comprised of representatives from waste haulers and facilities, Special Districts involved in waste, environmental groups, and members of the public with the goal of providing diverse viewpoints from across Marin County. Membership is volunteer-based and recruitments for open seats are posted on the Zero Waste Marin website. The Task Force specifically assists in the review of the JPA’s Integrated Waste Management Plan for all areas of Marin County to help the County reach its zero waste goals.
