Solid Waste in North CarolinaThe 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/SWS2/3/2006

OptionsDo Nothing

Institute a tipping fee

Ban certain materials (i.e..clean wood, cardboard)

Institute advance disposal fees (i.e. electronics)

Require program activity (i.e. recovery targets)DENR/DWM/SWS2/3/2006

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 2000-2001 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 capacityto manage solid waste that requires landfill disposal.
