c. Solid Waste Disposal.

Planning Board-Regular · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

This item concerns the operation of the Perdido Landfill by Escambia County to meet the solid waste disposal needs for the entire county. The established level of service standard for solid waste disposal is 6 pounds per capita per day. Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) has potable water and sanitary sewer collection available for the subject property, and ECUA solid waste collection and disposal services are also available. Infrastructure capacity will be confirmed when a development proposal is submitted. This policy item is currently under review. The project involves ongoing landfill operations and service provision, which may include site maintenance, waste processing, and related support services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in waste management, site maintenance, and potentially heavy equipment operation could find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as plans and needs are defined.
