A MODIFIED plan outlining how County Durham will deal with its waste for the next 12 years will go on show on Monday.
Durham County Council is obliged to draw up a local waste plan, showing how it proposes to cope with waste generated in the county up to 2016.
After a public inquiry and an inspector's report, the plan has been amended and will go on show for six weeks, with the public invited to comment on the changes.
The plan suggests creating waste management facilities in sustainable locations.
Chris Tunstall, the county's deputy chief executive for the environment, said: "The way waste is managed is changing dramatically.
"The plan enables us to deliver the types of facilities that are necessary to reuse, recycle and dispose of our waste so that we can meet stringent government targets to divert waste from landfill."
Copies are available at local council offices and libraries, on the county's website, www.durham.gov.uk, or by calling 0191-383 4114.
