County, Calif., was honored at the Government Recycling Program of the Year. The job of StopWaste.Org is to reduce the county's waste stream. StopWaste.Org is the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and the Alameda County Source Reduction and Recycling Board operating as one public agency. Like many solid waste agencies, it is funded from a fee generated from the local landfills. But StopWaste.org has truly tried to work to reduce waste going to the landfills, and strongly promotes recycling and reuse, especially in C&D, according to Turley. The county agency was one of the first to develop a model ordinance for its cities and municipalities to use to promote C&D recycling. The state of California itself followed its lead nearly five years later. Those seeking more information can go to the group's Web site at www.cdrecycling.org. |
