13. <br />Increasing Solid Waste <br />and Costs to Manage <br />The solid waste produced in Boulder County is expected to increase <br />by 2% annually over the next five years. This is based on population <br />growth and the current rate of solid waste production. Costs are <br />rising even faster at 3.5% annually. The county currently has a <br />variety of programs to handle waste management: composting, <br />recycling, and a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program, <br />but they will need to be inadequate for future needs. <br />Sources: Boulder County Solid Waste Management Plan <br />
