Program objective

To promote use of integrated solid waste management systems to solve solid waste generation and management problems at the local, regional and national levels. Fiscal Year 2025: Projects seek to increase capacity for food scraps composting in the region through the upgrade of yard waste composting facilities. The upgraded yard waste composting facilities will be capable of processing waste food which increases the capacity for wasted food composting in the region. Additional projects seek to enhance recycling systems, making them stronger and more agile to address changing materials markets. Further projects seek the promotion of reuse. Reuse involves the recovery or reapplication of salvaged, usable materials or products in a manner that maintains items in their original form. Reuse takes advantage of embodied carbon and energy, resources, and impacts already incurred in the production of original products such as lumber, refillable glass bottles, reusable food storage containers, refurbished wood pallets, and repaired electronics.
