A new initiative aimed at tackling construction and demolition waste is on the horizon for Jackson, Wyoming, as discussions at the Town Council Workshop on July 21, 2025, highlighted the potential for a dedicated program. Mayor Jorgensen and Councilwoman Sperry led the conversation, emphasizing the importance of addressing waste management in the community.

The proposed strategy includes the possibility of implementing a deposit program or a deconstruction program, which would require careful planning and resources. While the initiative is part of the broader waste management plan, it is not slated to begin within the next two years unless the council decides to prioritize it sooner.

The discussion revealed that establishing such a program would require significant effort, including staffing, as seen in similar programs elsewhere, which typically involve dedicated personnel to manage operations. Council members were encouraged to consider rearranging priorities to expedite the program's launch.

As the council continues to deliberate on waste management strategies, the potential for a construction and demolition waste program could significantly impact Jackson's environmental sustainability efforts. Further discussions and decisions are expected in the coming months as the council evaluates its priorities.
