“ We got complacent. We thought we did the deposit law so we were doing great on recycling. We’re behind. We’re half the national average on

  • recycling. We have to do more, it is for our own good. And it is for the

wellbeing of our society and our world.”

rather than disposal

  • Inform and engage residents on the

importance of recycling

  • Grow markets in M ichigan for recycled

materials

  • Increase recycling in state facilities
  • Establish funding model to ensure

success

impacted

  • Recent survey shows

– 64% of state owned sites have

recycling

– 15% of leased sites have

recycling

  • Access in all state facilities

moving forward

  • Rely more on local zoning
  • Increase recycling access and participation
  • M easurable goals and objectives
  • Flow control only to public facilities
  • M ay require haulers to provide recycling

services

  • Tighter planning process

Oversight of M aterials Utilization

  • Location, design, and operating provisions
  • Notification, registration, general permits
  • Inspections

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Oversight of Disposal

  • No separate authorization to process wastes

at landfills and transfer facilities

  • Reduced or extended postclosure care with

site-specific demonstrations of functional stability

  • Custodial care

17

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Financial Assurance

  • Align with costs to state
  • Require from general permit facilities
  • Broaden availability of financial test
  • Enable use of state’s perpetual care account

for general permit facilities

  • Alternatives still under review

– Landfill care fund – Risk pooling – State fund

Support to Communities

  • Local recycling grants - $8 million

– Growing recycling access and participation

  • Planning grants - $5 million

– Preparing, implementing, and maintaining local

materials management plans

  • M arket development grants - $2 million

– Providing equipment, research, and development
