Tribal Waste Management Program Sustainability Evaluation Tool

The Tribal Waste Management Program Sustainability Evaluation Tool (the Tool) is used to evaluate how a Tribal waste management program is currently operating and to identify specific areas where additional support is needed in developing a sustainable Tribal waste management program. The Tool consists of a spreadsheet, which addresses seven key indicators that are representative of a sustainable Tribal waste management program. The Tool allows Tribal managers to self-evaluate, or agree to a third-party evaluation of the sustainability of their waste management programs in these areas. Results of the evaluation can be used to diagnose and target areas to strengthen, assess improvements over time, and to aid in funding decisions.
