Special Municipal Programs

Community Improvement Program

The Community Improvement Program helps local governments remove or improve blighted properties by offering reduced landfill tipping fees for eligible municipal projects.

For abandoned or condemned structures, municipalities must provide documentation demonstrating the debris is free of asbestos contamination, typically through a documented asbestos survey, when necessary, abatement.

The Residential Cleanup Program provides municipalities with reduced tipping fees for community cleanup events, such as residential collection programs held at a municipal transfer site.

Eligibility and Applications

Only municipalities are eligible to participate in the Community Improvement and Residential Cleanup programs. Municipalities must submit a completed application to qualify for reduced tipping fees.
