The Carroll County Solid Waste
Authority (CCSWA) is a special unit of local
government formed as a partnership of Carroll
County, Berryville, Eureka Springs, Green
Forest. Its mission is to provide Carroll
County residents with integrated solid waste
services.
The
Carroll County Solid Waste Authority was
initially established in December of 1981.
The most significant solid waste management
activities however, didn’t begin to take
place until the early 1990’s when the Mayor’s
of the class “A” cities including Berryville,
Eureka Springs, Green Forest and the County
Judge applied to the Arkansas Secretary of
State for designation of the authority as a
public body, body corporate and politic
pursuant to ACT. 699 and ACT 919 of 1979.
The
creation of the authority enabled
participants to address the handling of solid
waste in a more comprehensive manner while
taking advantage of economics of scale that
resulted from separate entities working
together as one unit. The mission was to
establish and implement a fully integrated
solid waste management program that included:
-Collection
-Disposal
-Recycling
-Waste reduction
-Special Materials
-Public Education
The
Carroll County Solid Waste Authority, its
Board of Directors and its staff understand
and accept the responsibilities inherent with
providing for the efficient collection,
handling and disposing of solid waste that is
generated within the county borders. In
addition it is essential that existing
programs continue to be expanded or enhanced
in order to meet both the needs of our
citizens and to protect the fragile
environment of North West Arkansas.
