The District provides services and information aimed at diverting waste from landfills and keeping hazardous materials out of our soil, air and water. Every waste reduction, reuse or recycling effort you make: - extends the life of a landfill - improves the environment - reduces pollution - and conserves natural resources.  ![Page-About](https://jcrd.org/hubfs/Page-About.png) --- ## Staff ![Jessie Biggerman, Executive Director](https://jcrd.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Team-Jessie-Biggerman-1.png?height=500&length=500&name=Team-Jessie-Biggerman-1.png) Jessie Biggerman Executive Director Jessie Biggerman is Executive Director and started at JCRD in 2011.

Indiana to advise the board of directors and address specific questions from that board. The CAC is to be comprised of citizens who are truly interested in the subject of solid waste, not political appointees. The board may ask the CAC to study environmental issues specific to that county. The CAC would then present its findings and other recommendations to the board. In addition, the CAC is tasked with assisting the SWMD with a proposed budget each year.
