MADERA COUNTY — Madera County has launched a comprehensive study of the County’s solid waste management program. The study will be conducted by an independent consulting firm and informed by input from Madera County stakeholders and community members, which aims to provide an in-depth analysis of current solid waste practices and identify opportunities for improvement.
The study will also analyze the economic and environmental impacts of current practices and evaluate the feasibility of alternative waste management strategies. For more information about the solid waste study and how to provide input, please click here.

“We’re committed to providing sustainable and compliant waste management solutions that support the communities of Madera County and benefit the environment,” said Chairman David Rogers. “This study will provide us with valuable information to ensure the County complies with state regulations and manages waste in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible manner that protects the health, safety, and welfare of the community.”
The study is expected to take approximately six months to complete, and its success will hinge on input from various stakeholders and the community, including county residents, businesses, advocacy groups, and waste management professionals.

About World Cafés
World Café stakeholder engagement sessions are a structured conversation format that fosters collaborative dialogue among diverse participants to address complex issues and generate new ideas. Participants will be organized into small groups and asked to share their perspectives on a variety of topics related to waste management, including waste reduction, recycling, composting, and landfill operations. The insights and feedback gathered during these events will be used to inform the study’s draft and final recommendations.
