Fundamental Premises
The first update of New Hampshire’s Solid Waste Management Plan in almost 20 years was released on September 30, 2022.
New Hampshire now has a critical opportunity to evaluate new options for managing solid waste.
Solid waste management is a regional issue, and our initial work in New Hampshire will be a pilot for broader efforts.
Current condition: Fragmented, inefficient, unsustainable approach to solid waste management.
Desired outcome: Efficient, socially equitable, economically and environmentally sustainable, regionalized approach to solid waste management.
We want to be a catalyst for such change.
Who we are
Collaborative Solid Waste Strategies (CSWS) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization committed to improving the way New Hampshire and other states manage solid waste.
The Board of Directors includes individuals with long histories of involvement in the policy, science, and management of solid waste.
We strongly believe that New Hampshire’s mindset needs to shift to an emphasis on resource recovery and away from the current emphasis on solid waste disposal.
