In Cumberland County's case, this is accomplished by contracting with facilities for disposal capacity. Requests for Proposals for Disposal Capacity resulted in disposal facilities being identified in the WMP as facilities that have capacity to accept Cumberland County generated municipal waste. This is Cumberland County's way of assuring municipal waste generated within the county has a place to go.

Disposal capacity is normally provided for a ten year period. New capacity arrangements and a revised plan are required at the expiration of the existing capacity agreements. In conjunction with Nestor Resources, Cumberland County recently completed a WMP revision. The revision was adopted by the County Commissioners on November 12, 2013. The WMP is provided below, both as individual sections and as one entire document.
