RETH INK Op <br />RECYCLING® <br />Policy 1: Reduce greenhouse gases and conserve energy and resources. <br />Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy and resource <br />conservation through integrated solid waste management. <br />Policy 2: Promote toxicity reduction. Reduce the hazardous character of <br />waste and assure proper management of hazardous waste. <br />Policy 3: Promote renewable energy and conservation. Promote actions <br />that conserve energy, and will encourage the use of renewable energy, <br />which includes recovering energy from waste. <br />Policy 4: Manage waste now. Manage solid waste in a manner that will <br />minimize environmental, financial, and public health burdens on future <br />generations. <br />Policy 5: Protect public health. Ensure public health is protected by <br />reducing waste, recycling and composting (or other organics <br />management) a majority of the waste, and through the proper disposal of <br />what remains. <br />Goal 2. Integrate the parts. Manage waste in an integrated waste <br />management system in accordance with the hierarchy to minimize <br />landrilling, while emphasizing reducing waste generation and toxicity <br />and increasing reuse, recycling, and source - separated organic waste <br />management. <br />Policy 6: Support the waste management hierarchy. Manage waste in <br />accordance with the preferred methods in the waste management <br />hierarchy. <br />Policy 7: Implement regional waste management goals. Manage solid <br />waste in accordance with the numerical targets identified in the <br />Metropolitan System Plan, Part Three. <br />Policy S: Hold parties accountable for results. Whether public or private, <br />hold the operators of any solid waste system segment responsible for <br />meeting the goals of this Plan. <br />Goal 3. Manage waste cost - effectively and internalize future costs. <br />Manage waste in a cost - effective manner that maximizes environmental <br />benefits and minimizes long -term financial liability and be priced to <br />provide incentives that encourage waste to be managed as high as <br />possible on the waste hierarchy. <br />Policy 9: Promote efficiencies and cost effectiveness and reduce <br />environmental costs. Promote efficiencies and cost effectiveness and <br />reduce environmental costs in the delivery of integrated solid waste <br />2011 -2030 Regional Solid Waste Master Plan <br />Approved by the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board on December 14, 2011 Appendix V Page 13 <br />
