For the first time, the city of Fort Worth, Texas, is focusing on both residential and commercial waste as it begins implementing its newly approved, 20-year comprehensive solid waste management plan.
The city’s previous 20-year plan spanned 1995 to 2015. Robert Smouse, assistant director of the Fort Worth Solid Waste Services Division of the Code Compliance Department, says the new plan lays out the next steps for solid waste in the city and addresses how it will continue to manage, influence and ensure safe disposal and environmental aspects for the community for the next 20 years and beyond.
