The Pierce County Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAC) serves in an advisory and technical capacity to the Pierce County Council and Pierce County Solid Waste Division on matters relating to management of solid waste disposal and recycling services.

The fifteen voting members represent a balance of interests. SWAC members are citizens, members of public interest groups, professionals from the business community, operators of solid waste collection and recycling companies, and representatives of local governments.
