About ZWC

The Zero Waste Communities of San Bernardino County is made up of 16 cities/townships (see map below) and the County of San Bernardino. They have partnered to educate their residents and businesses on waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. Reducing waste will prolong the life of our landfill, ensuring a better quality of life.

The group was originally formed when the county made Waste Delivery/Disposal Agreements (WDAs) with 15 cities to direct their haulers to take their trash to San Bernardino County landfill sites. The county then decided to provide funding for an outreach/education program for those cities with WDA agreements. The members formed a committee, then called the WDA committee.

Since the "Waste Delivery/Disposal Agreement Committee" name was hard to explain to the general public, the group later came up with the Zero Waste Communities name, which was later expanded to include "of San Bernardino County".
