The Butler County Solid Waste District (SWD), which serves the entire county, promotes recycling, waste reduction and responsible disposal of all waste from households, businesses and industry. One of 52 solid waste districts in Ohio, Butler County SWD is responsible for implementing a solid waste management plan which the Butler County Board of Commissioners, political subdivisions and Ohio EPA approved in 2005.

A $2 per ton solid waste generation fee funds the District. The fee is collected whenever waste originating from Butler County is deposited in Ohio landfills. 

The Board of Commissioners appoints the Butler County SWD Policy Committee which consists of a county commissioner designee, township designee, general interest representative, largest municipality representative, local health district representative, public sector representative and an industrial generator representative.

The Policy Committee meets on the third Friday of January, March, May, July, September, and November. Meetings take place in the Butler County Administrative Services Building on the 6th Floor. The general public is invited to attend. Contact the SWD at 513-887-3653 for more information.
