About Us
Who We Are
Who We Are... 
The Allen County Solid Waste Management District (the District) was established on April 2, 1991, when the Indiana State Legislature enacted House Bill 1240 requiring counties to form Solid Waste Management Districts. All 62 districts were charged with the responsibility of developing 20-year solid waste management plans to decrease Indiana’s dependency on landfills. House Bill 1240 also mandates districts to reduce waste in their areas by 50% by the year 2001.
Our Strategy...
To accomplish these objectives, the District has identified and designed programs to educate and promote the importance of Reducing, Recycling, and Reusing.
Such programs include: Tire Amnesty Day, Tox-Away Day, Christmas Tree Recycling, Backyard Composting Demonstration Site, Household Battery Recycling, Electronics Recycling, Fluorescent Bulb Recycling, and the Trash-to-Treasure Art Contest.
In addition to education, the District provides business and local government with financial incentives to expand recycling and composting programs in Allen County. Our Diversion Credit Program supports local recyclable material processors by making it economically feasible to process and deliver recyclable materials to industry.
Board of Directors...
The district is governed by a seven-member board, as required by statute, consisting of the following:
• The three Allen County Commissioners
• Mayor of the City of Fort Wayne
• A Representative of the Allen County Council
• A Representative of the Fort Wayne City Council
• A Representative of other Allen County communities, appointed by the Commissioners
The board conducts monthly meetings and has the responsibility of approving all financial matters, hiring staff, creating policy and adopting ordinances as needed to carry out the District’s programs.
Citizen’s Advisory Committee...
The Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CAC) is a group of representatives from the solid waste industry, environmental groups, educators and citizens of Allen County who are knowledgeable and interested in environmental issues. The CAC meets to assist the District in meeting its goals.
