About this Event
Kentucky is drafting new statewide plans for recycling and waste management, and is seeking input from those in the waste management, recycling, sustainability, education, local government, or other associated fields. Blueprint Kentucky, the Kentucky Division of Waste Management, and University of Kentucky Recycling are partnering to draft these plans based on feedback from guided community conversations discussing the strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and needs of infrastructure, education, and policy surrounding waste management.
These conversations will help determine what goes into the new Sustainable Materials Management plan. One session will be held in each area development district, with additional city-specific sessions, but all are welcome to attend any event that is convenient.
The meeting is specifically targeting those living or working through the Purchase Area Development District counties of Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Marshall, and McCracken.
These guided community conversations will help us draft the following plans:
- Sustainable Materials Management Plan
- Circular Economy Strategies
- Economic Impact Study
By talking through considerations around the waste stream, dumping, landfills, and waste management broadly we will be able to identify common strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and hopes to include in these plans. With a particular focus on education, advocacy, and infrastructure.
