Shared Municipal Services
The Northwest Hills Council of Governments serves its member towns by coordinating and administering programs and projects of regional interest. From equipment sharing to regional Household Hazardous Waste Days, these COG services help to save our member towns money by sharing the cost of the service regionally rather than each town taking on the full cost themselves.
Some of these services are:
• Public Works Equipment Cooperative
• Regional Household Hazardous Waste Days coordination
• Regional Cooperative Purchasing Program
• Staff support for the Housatonic River Commission and for municipal human service providers
Please contact us for more information on these regional services or projects.
Regional Household Hazardous Waste days are coordinated through NHCOG and allow residents of member towns to discard of their hazardous waste at a centralized location and at no cost to them.
Regional Household Hazardous Waste
This service allows our 21 member towns to share the use of public works equipment as needed, avoiding costly purchases for machinery that is not used regularly.
Public Works Equipment Cooperative
This program is provided in partnership with the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG). It allows NHCOG member towns to purchase materials in bulk in tandem with CRCOG member towns to achieve economies of scale.
