The Routt County Vision 2030 report identified sustainability as a core community value. This sentiment is echoed in the vision statement for the City of Steamboat Springs, Steamboat Springs City Council’s 2019 goals, and in the 2019 Routt County Strategic Plan. In response to desires of the community for a commitment to responsible and sustainable management of waste streams, Yampa Valley Sustainability Council (YVSC), with support from Routt County and a comprehensive group of community stakeholders, developed this Waste Diversion Strategic Plan. The plan is designed to support State requirements for core environmental health services and recently developed statewide waste diversion goals, with an intent to reduce waste and increase material recovery over the next five years and beyond. To kick off the planning process, community stakeholders met in February and throughout 2018 to identify and discuss priorities for waste diversion
