Walla Walla Area Resource Conservation Committee

At the request of Walla Walla 2020, the Walla Walla Area Resource Conservation Committee (formerly the Regional Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee) was established in 1988 by the Walla Walla County Commissioners in compliance with the Solid Waste Management Plan. Its main role was to advise the Regional Waste Reduction and Recycling Office, Solid Waste Advisory Committee, and the public on ways to reduce, reuse, recycle, and complete the loop by purchasing environmentally preferable products. In the interim, the Walla Walla Area Resource Conservation Committee has become a non-profit (501c(3)) organization and in this role works with all government agencies, private entities, and the public to promote sustainability (ecological, equitable, economical) in the community.

The Committee meets quarterly the second Monday of the following months: January, April, July and October at 4:30 p.m in the conference room of the Walla Walla City Service Center on Moore Street. 

Each year the committee tackles various projects and is continually looking for people to work with us on these projects. To indicate your interest in a particular project, share your ideas, or ask questions, please join us at one of our regular meetings or contact any of the following:
