The Ulster County Legislature is seeking quotes to establish pricing for the completion of the Ulster County Zero Waste Implementation Plan, using the work and sections drafted by the ad hoc Zero Waste Implementation Plan working group, and reflecting their vision and knowledge. Solid Waste within the County of Ulster, New York is managed by the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency who has established a Solid Waste Management Plan. The County Legislature did not feel that the plan sufficiently addressed waste reduction and methods to approach Zero-Waste. As a result, an ad hoc group was created called the Zero Waste Implementation Plan working group. This group began writing a Zero Waste Implementation Plan in order to fill the gap between the Legislature's expectations and the Solid Waste Management Plan. To date, the group has drafted a large portion of the report, but the Legislature feels it is at a stage where a professional consultant is needed to finish the Plan.
