Disaster and Emergency Response

In the event of severe weather events or man-made disasters which could cause widespread damage, SPSA’s Board of Directors has adopted a response plan which reflects our unique relationship with our member communities and other customers.

Since SPSA’s primary mission is solid waste management and disposal, SPSA’s main objective during a disaster is to maintain this capability for the disposal of putrescible solid waste to the highest degree possible.

Once major streets and highways have been cleared and conditions permit, SPSA will resume normal waste disposal activities at the earliest possible time.
