Arner, R

As the cost of waste management has increased dramatically in recent years, public works and environmental services officials in Virginia responsible for waste management are exploring how various delivery systems can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these services. Shifting some service delivery from the public to the private sector, or vice versa, are approaches that may have the potential to improve efficiency. However, each jurisdiction's waste management requirements differ, and there is no cookie-cutter approach. The following discusses various privatization/publicization opportunities and under what conditions these strategies may be developed to the benefit of localities.
