(A) State law requires each county up to 150,000 in population to recycle 15% of its solid waste stream by 1994. Recycling occurs when a material is removed from the waste stream and used to make new products.
(B) The cost of landfilling has increased drastically over the past 10 years due to increased regulations and is expected to continue to escalate as new aspects of trash disposal are addressed.
(C) In order to meet the recycling goal mandated by the state, the county must provide documentation of all recycling taking place within its boundaries.
