TONS OF TRASH
- What can we do with it?
It is estimated that 260,000,000
tons of solid waste is generated in the U.S. each
year.
What are we going to do with it?
We must develop a solid waste management plan
for each district or solid waste entity which
includes:
waste avoidance,
waste reduction,
recycling,
reuse,
environmentally safe disposal |
