Solid & Hazardous Waste Commission (SHWC)

In 1992, the Hazardous Waste Commission was established through 25-15-302, C.R.S.  In 2006, as a result of Senate Bill 06-171, the Hazardous Waste Commission was renamed the Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission and assumed rulemaking responsibilities from the State Board of Health over solid waste.   The Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission is comprised of nine gubernatorial appointees: three members from industry; three members from the public at large; and three members from government or academia.  

The Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission will hold its Annual Meeting at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 29, 2013, at 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South  Denver, CO 80246.  (Sabin Conference Room)
