Solid Waste Recycling: The Complete Resource Guide

Booknews

The prospect of increasing the 13% diversion of garbage from landfills to recycling in 1988 to a projected 20 to 28% by 1995 seems lethargic--and ineffectual given the growth in the population of garbage makers. This guide details the federal and state laws and regulations, legal issues and local initiatives upon which we count to amelioriate the waste crisis. Includes case studies of programs, surveys, studies and reports guidelines and recommendations, and, finally, resources and references for deeper study. Presented in a 3-ring binder. Annotation c.
