Region M Waste Management District News

Happy 2023! Region M Waste Management would like to express their appreciation and gratitude for their Grantees, Executive Board, Advisory Committee, and all of the cities and counties they work with in Region M. They have made some strides in recent years to ease the grant application process, reduce district operation costs, increase tonnage diversion rates, close out projects sooner, and better serve the communities. Thank you, all for your role in this!
