While Northern Virginia's jurisdictions manage solid waste and recycling programs independently, they also collaborate on common regional concerns through the Northern Virginia Waste Management Board.  The Waste Board focuses its efforts on initiatives such as:

• Regional Survey and Report on solid waste trends;
• Tracking Legislative Initiatives related to waste and recycling; and
• Know Toxics education and outreach campaign to divert compact fluorescents, electronics, and other commonly used toxic materials.
• Waste Board Staff Page provides a location to share resources, archives, and working drafts.
