RICWMA’s General Statement of Purpose
This Agreement is established for the purpose of providing Members with efficient solid waste management services for the disposition of municipal wastes generated by their citizens and, thereby, to protect the citizens from such hazards to their health, safety, and welfare as result or as may result from the uncontrolled disposal of these solid wastes. The units of local government which are parties to this Agreement ("Members") have determined that there is a need to take a comprehensive regional approach to solid waste management by the adoption and implementation of a regional solid waste management plan that addresses the significant economic, political, and environmental problems associated with solid waste management and disposal. The need to take this intergovernmental approach to solid waste management has resulted in the establishment of this Agreement.
