The City of Sugar Land is creating a resident task force to develop recommendations for the future of solid waste and recycling in Sugar Land. 

The task force will be appointed by City Manager Michael W. Goodrum and will meet twice a month from 6-8 p.m. through November. Recommendations will focus on future residential service levels based on extensive review and citizen feedback. 

Part of the process will also include the development of a statistically-valid community wide survey to ensure Sugar Land’s solid waste program aligns with community expectations. Recommendations will be submitted to City Council following completion of the task force’s work.  

Duties and Responsibilities

The Solid Waste Task Force will be responsible for the following:

• Participate in round-table discussions regarding the development, review and prioritization of residential solid waste program goals; 
• Utilize the identified goals to determine the strategies (i.e. services) that best meet those goals; and 
• Make a recommendation regarding the residential service levels that should be utilized in the city’s next solid waste contract. 

Should you have any questions, please call 311 or 281-275-2900.
