The Solid Waste Advisory Group (SWAG) was created by the Orange County Board of Commissioners in June of 2014, to develop a draft interlocal agreement between the Towns of Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Orange County and now also includes representation from UNC Chapel Hill, and UNC Healthcare.
