A Greener Fort Worth

Rethinking Waste for a Greener Fort Worth

With the approval of the 2017 – 2037 Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (CSWMP), the City of Fort Worth has undertaken one of it's largest green initiatives to-date, setting our community on a 20-year journey towards making Fort Worth a greener, and increasingly better place to live.

The 2017 – 2037 Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan was developed to serve as a roadmap for how waste is to be handled and managed in Cowtown in the next 20 years. The Plan is:

  • Comprehensive. It covers the totality of the municipal solid waste, instead of being limited to one of it's sectors.
  • Systematic rather than being an atomized approach to solid waste management
  • Synergetic, identifying and recommending mutually-helpful initiatives with other city departments and outside agencies that benefit all, and promote the common good. Advancing those potential intra and inter-agency collaborations will bring to fruition the full benefits of the CSWMP to the city.
