OUR MISSION: The Chatham County Waste Management Department works to promote environmentally sound activities and to provide a clean, safe and efficient program for the management, collection, reduction/recycling and disposal of solid waste.

IMPORTANT 2008 TAX BILL CLARIFICATION: County tax bills mailed out August 4th may have been confusing because the term used to describe the solid waste fee (was called "Availability Fee" on the bill itself, but the flyer from the Waste Management referred to the fee as "SW Collection Center Fee" (correct name).  These are the same fee and the amount billed is correct. In printing the tax bills, the system did not use the correct name, SW Collection Fee. The Tax Office apologizes for any confusion this has created. NOTE: Only those living outside incorporated towns are billed for the fee, which supports waste collection & recycling centers for county residents. Towns have their own waste collection & recycling programs.
