29 Solid Waste in North Carolina The future: More of the same (Probably continue to have more and more waste) Yet very different (Probably become one of the nation s leading importers of waste) DENR/DWM/SWS

30 Require program activity (i.e. recovery targets) DENR/DWM/SWS Do Nothing Options Institute a tipping fee Ban certain materials (i.e..clean wood, cardboard) Institute advance disposal fees (i.e. electronics)

31 Five Goals Identified in the State Planning Process By 2010, improve landfill technology to secure long term protection of the environment By 2010, a larger portion of solid waste will be managed by recycling and composting than disposal in landfills. By 2010, litter and illegal disposal shall be reduced by 50% from levels. By 2010, implement a public participation and public education program for new proposed solid waste management facilities, and existing and closed solid waste management facilities. By 2010 the State of North Carolina will have adequate capacity to manage solid waste that requires landfill disposal.
