Marin County Hazardous and Solid Waste is now known as Zero Waste Marin. Zero Waste Marin is a joint powers authority agreement between Belvedere, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Novato, San Rafael, Sausalito, San Anselmo, Corte Madera, Fairfax, Ross, Tiburon, and Marin County. ZWM was established in 1996 with the mission to help Marin County residents and businesses meet the county's zero waste goal by 2025. ZWM also provides information on household hazardous waste collections, recycling, composting, and waste disposal.
Marin County LAFCo is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Marin County LAFCo
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations
Marin County LAFCo has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Marin County LAFCo regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found. In our ongoing commitment to transparency, we make the
last three months' reports available to the public.
Please note that this site may link out to third-party websites, such as state or federal agencies, that do
not have accessible content. This site may also include documents provided by third parties included in our
agenda packets, for example. While we cannot control the accessibility of content provided by third parties,
we are happy to assist any member of the public with reading and accessing content on our site.
