State law requires each Ohio county to establish or join other counties to form a “solid waste management district.” In 1989, Jefferson and Belmont Counties formed the Jefferson-Belmont Regional Solid Waste Authority (JBRSWA). The JBRSWA Board of Trustees is composed of 15 members representing both Counties as specified in the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code 3734.54. In 2011, the JBRSWA began to operate its recycling operations and services under the AKA name of the “JB Green Team” to help our residents become more familiar with the programs we offer.
