Disposal and Remaining Landfill Capacity 2003 Solid Waste Management Report
During Fiscal Year 2003 the amount of waste sent to Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills in Georgia increased and the amount of waste entering Construction and Demolition (C&D) landfills remained approximately the same, with the state having 13.6 years of remaining permitted C&D landfill space and 25.4 years of remaining permitted MSW landfill space. As in past years, recycling and other waste reduction efforts are reducing the amount of garbage that could be buried in the state. Increasingly, the private sector controls most of the disposal capacity in the state, and receives most of the waste disposed. Larger landfills continue to replace smaller, older landfills, and the amount of waste entering older, unlined landfills continues to fall. The amount of waste we import from other states for disposal continues to climb, undercutting local and statewide waste disposal reduction efforts designed to meet the state's MSW disposal reduction goal. (See Per Capita Disposal section for more information.)
Where Does the Waste Go?
The vast majority of waste disposed of in Georgia enters lined, monitored Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. Of the 14.2 million tons of waste disposed in permitted Georgia disposal facilities during FY 2003, 11.1 million tons, or 78.2%, entered lined, monitored landfills meeting federal Subtitle D requirements. Approximately 2.8 million tons, or 19.6%, entered Construction and Demolition landfills. The remainder was divided among unlined Municipal Solid Waste landfills (1.3%), the state's only MSW incinerator (0.7%), and the state's only large-scale MSW composting facility (0.6%).

Most of the waste disposed in Georgia enters private facilities, as shown in the table entitled `Landfill Quick Facts.' In FY 2003, landfill owners/operators reported 7,646,577 tons of waste entering 14 private MSW landfills, compared with 7,042,273 tons entering 15 private MSW landfills in FY 2002. In FY 2003, 3,444,383 tons of waste entered 45 publicly owned MSW facilities in the state, compared with 3,191,420 tons entering 45 public MSW landfills the previous year.

From FY 1993-2003, the number of MSW landfills operated by cities, counties, and solid waste authorities dropped by nearly two-thirds, from 121 to 44. According to the Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (EPD),11,135,473 tons of waste entered MSW landfills in Georgia during FY 2003. This is up 8.1% from FY 2002, when 10.2 million tons of waste entered Georgia MSW facilities .

C&D Landfills
Construction and Demolition landfills are permitted disposal facilities that can only accept waste building materials and
rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition operations on pavements, houses, commercial
buildings and other structures. Such wastes include, but are not limited to asbestos-containing waste, wood, bricks, metal,
concrete, wall board, paper, cardboard, inert waste landfill material, and other nonputrescible wastes which have a low
potential for groundwater contamination.
Permitted Solid Waste Management Facilities FY 1997 20031
The public sector owns and operates a greater number of C&D facilities in the state, but it manages only 30% of the statewide C&D disposal capacity. In FY 2003, landfill operators

Unlined Landfills
During FY 2003, 183,049 tons of waste were disposed in six unlined MSW landfills. This represents approximately 1.6% of the
total waste entering MSW landfills in Georgia. As of July 2003, five unlined MSW facilities were still operating under their original EPD-approved permits, and had not reached their closure capacity. Until they do, they must adhere to the same operating rocedures and methane monitoring require-ments as their more modern ounterparts. When the unlined facilities close, they will be capped and monitored under

federal Subtitle D regulations.
There is no time limit for these landfills to meet Subtitle D regulations, but they will not be granted expansion permits. It is
likely that a very small percentage of MSW generated in Georgia will continue to be disposed in unlined landfills for years to come.
Unlined Landfills Accepting MSW
MSW Incinerator
There is one incinerator operating in Georgia accepting MSW. Located in Chatham County, the operation is also known as a waste-to-energy facility. The City of Savannah sends approximately 250 tons of waste to the incinerator every day. During FY 2003, 101,284 of waste were incinerated at this facility. There are several other types of incinerators in public and private use that accept only specialized waste, such as wood waste.

Municipal Waste Composting
Another unique waste disposal operation in Georgia is Cobb County's MSW composting facility. The facility accepts approximately 360 tons per day of MSW collected in Cobb County. The composting process results in a clean, beneficial soil amendment given to Cobb residents free of charge. During FY 2003, 91,390 tons of MSW entered the Cobb Composting facility.
Waste Exports
During FY 2003, 17 local governments reported exporting waste to another state. It is difficult to track border waste exchange, and it is suspected that in most cases, it travels relatively short distances across the state borders.

Disposal and Capacity 2003 Report
Imported Waste
The amount of waste brought to Georgia from other states and disposed is six times greater than it was in FY 1998. Waste imports rose from 950,779 tons in FY 2002 to 1,197,686 tons in FY 2003. Nearly all of the waste brought to Georgia from other states is MSW. The amount of out-of-state waste amounts to 8.4% of the total amount of waste disposed in the state or 10.8% of the waste entering MSW landfills in Georgia. (See Imported Waste FY 1993-2003)

Disposal and Capacity 2003 Report
Remaining Landfill Disposal Capacity
On a statewide basis, Georgia continues to have an adequate supply of permitted landfill disposal capacity. At the close of FY 2003 the state had 25.4 years of remaining permitted MSW landfill space and more than 13 years of permitted C&D landfill space. The maps below highlight the change in the amount of permitted MSW landfill capacity in the state from the previous year. The Central Savannah River Area region lost significant disposal capacity because two large landfills that had been permitted were never built and their permits have lapsed according to EPD.

disposed every year in Georgia to fill
about two football fields one mile high. Georgia has an estimated 23.2 years of remaining landfill capacity statewide. A
regional breakdown, by Regional Development Center, can be found on pages A-8 and A-9. The projection of remaining
capacity is based upon current disposal rates and disposal capacity permitted by the Georgia EPD.
The increases in landfill disposal capacity are the result of a solid waste management trend that emerged in the mid1990s, a trend that is largely driven by the economics of landfill design and operation. While the state has more disposal capacity today than it had in the past decade, this capacity is contained in fewer landfills. The number of MSW landfills in Georgia has fallen since tighter federal regulations were adopted in the mid-1990s, but the number of C&D landfills remained fairly static before rising to 51 in FY 2003. In FY 1993, there were 187 public and private landfills in Georgia, and 75% of these were small facilities that only accepted waste generated within the host county. In FY 1999, nearly half of the state's total disposal capacity could be found in eight landfills. For FY 2003, more than half of the state's total remaining capacity sits in just five facilities, although there are 103 active landfills in Georgia. And one-third of Georgia's total remaining capacity sits in just three facilities. These gains in remaining disposal capacity have occurred while smaller or older landfills are closed and enter lengthy post-closure care monitoring periods. The table entitled `Georgia Landfills with Most Remaining Disposal Capacity FY 2003' on page A-8 ranks the top ten landfills in the state by remaining
disposal capacity.

*The Lowndes County landfill was under construction, and received no waste during FY 2003.
During FY 2003, an additional seven MSW landfills and one C&D landfill were issued closure certificates, and one unlined landfill ceased accepting MSW. As of July 1, 2003, 299 solid waste disposal facilities were in post-closure care. (Remaining capacity measured in cubic yards is EPD data; remaining capacity in years are DCA figures, calculated based on 260 operating days per year for each facility and average daily tons disposed in FY 2003.)

Per Capita Disposal 2003 Solid Waste Management Update
The amount of garbage entering Georgia's Municipal Solid Waste landfills climbed during Fiscal Year 2003, taking Georgia farther from its waste reduction goal. With only two exceptions, during the past decade the per capita disposal rate in Georgia has either climbed gradually or remained nearly flat. In 1996, the same year the yard trimmings ban and MSW 25% per capita waste reduction goal went into effect, the MSW per capita disposal rate fell to 5.4 lbs/person/day. In 2002, the MSW disposal rate dipped again, due in part to the increased disposal of construction materials at C&D designated landfills and a sluggish economy.
Since FY 1993, the per capita municipal solid waste disposal rate has climbed from 5.56 lbs/person/day to 7.14 lbs/person/day. Looking at records that exclude the amount of waste disposed from out-of-state sources, the per capita MSW disposal rate has been marginally lower, climbing from 5.48 lbs/person/day in FY 1993 to 6.38 lbs/person/day in FY 2003. It should be noted that the state's 25% waste disposal reduction goal is a per capita reduction goal based upon all MSW disposed within the state. It does not exclude waste generated from out-of-state sources and disposed in landfills located within the state.
As can be seen in the Per Capita Daily Waste Disposal graph, there is more than one way to track per-capita disposal rates. In FY 2003, the Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division (EPD) reported a total of 14,247,133 tons of waste disposed in the state. When looking at the reported total volumes of waste disposed, the per capita waste disposal rate rose to 9.14 lbs/person/day in FY 2003, up from 8.52 lbs/person/day in FY 2002. This figure represents all waste entering MSW and C&D landfills. It includes residential waste, sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants, some industrial waste, construction debris, commercial and business waste, and waste brought here from other states.

Per Capita Disposal 2003 Update
Looking at the disposal rate at MSW landfills only, including waste disposed from out-of-state sources, the per capita disposal rate returns to the FY 2001 level of 7.15 pounds per person per day. When excluding out -of-state waste imports, the daily per capita MSW disposal rate drops to 6.38 lbs/person/day. It should be noted that these rates reflect all waste entering a MSW landfill as reported to the EPD, not just MSW. According to a 2001 study conducted by R.W. Beck for the Department of Community Affairs, about two-thirds of the waste disposed in MSW landfills is actually Municipal Solid Waste. Based upon this estimate, the FY 2003 per capita MSW disposal rate, excluding waste imported into the state, is approximately 4.2 lbs/person/day.
The impact of out -of-state waste imports plays a role in the state achieving its 25% waste disposal reduction goal. Imported MSW is not exempt from the waste reduction disposal goal and must be factored into the overall equation. Waste disposed from out-of-state sources accounted for 10.8% of the MSW stream and 8.4% of the total waste stream disposed in the state. Imported waste has grown from representing 0.1/lb/person/day in 1998 to 0.8 lb/person/day in FY 2003.

Solid Waste & Recycling Collection 2003 Solid Waste Management Report
Waste Collection
The level and type of solid waste, recycling and yard trimmings collection services provided throughout the state varies
greatly depending upon a community's size and demographic profile. The information contained in the following pages
attempts to identify how local governments collect and manage solid waste and recyclables generated within their
community. Most importantly it notes that the majority of local governments responding to the 2002 Solid Waste
Management Survey and Full Cost Report (82%) provide, or arrange for, the collection of residential solid waste. In
addition, 55% of the local governments responding reported providing, or arranging for, solid waste collection services for businesses and other non-
Residential Waste and Recyclables Collection
residential customers.
FY 2000 - 2002
In the table entitled Residential Waste & Recyclables Collection the changing role of local governments as solid waste collection service providers is highlighted. Many local governments have opted to "arrange for" rather than "provide" solid waste collection services. Over the past decade, we have seen the solid waste collection role of the private sector increase. In 1992, 190 communities reported they relied upon the private sector to collect solid waste in their community. In 2002, 393 local governments reported they relied upon the private sector for solid waste collection services. There are several tools local governments use to partner with the private sector to manage the waste generated within their communities, including: permits, ordinances, franchise agreements, and/or contracts.
Permits and ordinances governing the collection of solid waste are typically the least restrictive tools local governments use to manage solid waste collection in their community. Collection ordinances typically establish general standards by which a private sector service provider must operate. Franchise agreements, either exclusive or open, typically establish a minimum level of services that

must be provided by all service providers and usually stipulate the specific operating standards. A contract between a
local government and private waste service provider provides the greatest degree of management control over the waste
stream, with the local
government setting forth specific performance measures and standards to be met by both parties.

curbside or backdoor pick-up. One trend the Department of Community Affairs has been tracking for several years is the use of Dumpsters. They are often placed in unsupervised areas, usually in rural communities, for trash collection and frequently become dumping grounds for everything from household trash to disabled vehicles, tires, and animal carcasses. They can become an eyesore in a community and attract waste from neighboring jurisdictions. The number of local governments using green boxes for residential waste collection has dwindled in recent years. In 1994, 74 cities and 99 counties reported using them for residential waste collection. In FY 2002, just 30 cities and 37 counties reported using green boxes.

The number of local governments reporting they provide for the collection and disposal of yard trimmings rose to 457 in FY 2002. For the past three years, the number of counties reporting they provide collection services has increased, from 77 in FY 2000 to 97 in FY 2002. From the information reported it appears that this increase is occurring at staffed drop-off facilities. The type of collection service options ranged from accepting yard trimmings at solid waste management facilities like a solid waste transfer station to curbside collection programs.
Recyclables Collection
During FY 2002, 464 local governments reported they provided or arranged for residential recycling services in their communities. As can be seen in the Residential Recycling Services Providers graph, the strong tradition of public, private, and non-profit partnerships used to provide recycling services throughout Georgia continues.

jurisdictions. Nationally and regionally, market prices for recycled materials have ridden a roller coaster. Virtually any recyclable commodity price, when tracked over time, varies greatly, thus affecting what materials some local governments choose to recycle, given their budget restrains and shifting priorities.
This report does not address the scale of the individual local recycling operations, which would be difficult to quantify. Rather, it focuses upon the level of recycling services being offered throughout the state. Since 1992, newspaper has been reported as the residential recyclable material most widely collected in Georgia, followed by aluminum cans. During FY 2002, the most popular commodities recycled from residences were newspaper (380 jurisdictions reporting collection); aluminum (362); corrugated cardboard (314); magazines (298); and #1 plastic (268.) PET plastic bumped glass off the top five most recycled materials category during FY 2002. Some recyclers have dropped glass from their programs, saying prices have fallen to the point that dealing with the material, which can be a contaminant for other recyclables if not handled properly, is no longer worth the trouble. Glass proponents claim that markets for the material have strengthened in the last year, and that with care and proper equipment maintenance, glass should not be a problem for a recycling operation.
The tables on page C-4 tally the number of local governments that collect commercial and residential materials for recycling. For a complete listing of the types of materials that are being recycled in each community, please consult DCA's Web site, www.dca.state.ga.us/environmental/swar.html and view the `Access to Recycling FY 2002' table.
Recyclables Processing
In FY 2002 212 local governments reported processing residential
recyclables as source separated materials, or reported that they collect
source-separated materials from their customers. Source-separated
means the materials are
separated before being collected, typically by the consumer. For example, a homeowner may have

Transfer Stations
With fewer, more regional-sized landfills in the state and a wide array of solid waste collection programs, solid waste transfer stations continue to be a popular method of streamlining solid waste collection services. Transfer stations are especially effective when collection routes are farther than 50 miles from a landfill. Combining several conventional rear-loader garbage truck loads into a single tractor-trailer for the trip to the landfill saves fuel costs, vehicle wear and tear, and means fewer trucks can service more customers. Only 20 cities reported that they or their contractors used transfer stations for the collection or disposal of residential waste in FY 1995. By FY 2002, 143 cities or their contractors were using transfer stations to manage residential waste, a 715% increase in eight years.

Yard Trimmings 2003 Solid Waste Management Report
Georgia banned yard trimmings from lined Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills in 1996, as part of an effort to extend landfill disposal capacity. Effective Sept. 1, 1996, each city, county and solid waste management authority was required to impose restrictions on yard trimmings generated in or disposed within their jurisdiction. The restrictions required that yard trimmings:
Not be placed in or mixed with municipal solid waste;
Be sorted and stored for collection to facilitate composting or other handling;
To the maximum extent feasible be sorted, stockpiled or chipped for composting or used as a mulch or for other beneficial purposes; and
Be banned from disposal at MSW disposal facilities having liners and leachate collection systems.
Annually, DCA surveys local governments to determine how they collect, process and use yard trimmings generated within their communities. During FY 2002, 66 cities and 41 counties reported actively promoting waste minimization practices such as grasscycling or home composting. During FY 2002, 252 cities and 97 counties reported collecting yard trimmings for diversion from MSW landfills. It is not surprising, given lot sizes and population densities, that cities lead the way in providing yard trimmings collection services. Most local governments also reported that they provided the collection services with just a few indicating they contracted with a private vendor to collect yard trimmings.
In many areas, especially urban and suburban communities, the visible result of the yard trimmings ban has been the presence of large paper bags of leaves and grass at curbsides. Collection of yard trimmings in paper bags enables them to be ground into a mulch or feedstock for composting. The majority of local governments who reported collecting yard trimmings either ground or shredded the collected material for use as a mulch, however 149 local governments reported disposing the collected materials into an inert landfill. Composting and burning were also reported as common processing methods.

N/A: Questions not asked that year
Yard trimmings, when processed properly, have numerous beneficial uses in a community. The use of compost and mulch is extremely beneficial for slowing stormwater runoff and retaining moisture around plants. Many local governments used processed yard trimmings as mulch for their landscaping and civil engineering applications or reported offering the processed yard trimmings to their citizens for residential landscaping.

MSW and C&D Landfill Tipping Fees 2003 Solid Waste Management Report
With over 26 years of permitted Municipal Solid Waste landfill disposal capacity and more than 13 years of permitted Construction and Demolition landfill disposal capacity remaining in Fiscal Year 2002, Georgia continues to have some of the lowest landfill tipping fees east of the Mississippi River. (For a more detailed discussion on remaining permitted landfill capacity, please see Remaining Capacity and Disposal section.)
Annually during the month of July, DCA conducts a phone survey of the landfills in the state to identify their posted "gate rate" or "tipping fee" to calculate a regional and statewide average disposal fee. Based upon these surveys, the average tipping fee for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the state fell slightly from $33.50 per ton in 2002 to $33.26 per ton in 2003. It should be noted that the fees reported represent an average of the posted gate rate charged by landfills throughout the state; actual prices paid are frequently lower, sometimes by more than half, depending on volume discounts offered to waste haulers, businesses, and local governments.
DCA also tracks tipping fees for Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste. C&D tipping fees rose from a 2002 statewide average of $21.47 per ton to $28.16 per ton in 2003. The significant increase in the statewide C&D average tipping fee is largely attributable to the high volume of C&D waste handled within the area served by the Atlanta Regional Commission. Average C&D tipping fees also climbed significantly in the areas served by the Chattahoochee Flint, Heart of Georgia-Altamaha, and Southwest Georgia Regional Development Centers. Also, landfills in the area served by the North Georgia RDC began charging a separate rate for C&D waste disposal, which contributed to the increase in the statewide average.

Calculating Weighted Average Tipping Fees
To account for tonnage disparities between large private facilities and small public operations, a weighted average tipping fee was used. In the cases where out-ofcounty residents or businesses were charged a higher rate than in-county residents and businesses, the higher out-of-county rate was used. Tipping fees charged for MSW at transfer stations were not incorporated into the survey calculations. When tipping fee rates were reported by volume rather than weight, a ratio of four cubic yards to one ton (4 CY: 1 ton) was used to approximate weight-based rates. Weighted averages were calculated for the area served by each RDC and for the state by multiplying the Average Daily Tons received at each facility (ADT) by the per-ton gate fee, divided by the total ADT for all landfill facilities within each RDC and within the state. The process was repeated for C&D landfills. To avoid double counting, Average Daily Tonnage was assigned to the MSW column for those facilities charging the same rate for MSW and C&D waste. Most facilities charge the same rate for C&D and MSW received, but a significant number do not. In these cases, the landfills were asked to provide an approximate ratio of MSW to C&D waste received. Weighted averages were calculated using the method described above, with the Average Daily Tons reported split accordingly between MSW and C&D. For facilities that reported receiving no C&D waste, their fees were not used in calculating average C&D fees. In all RDCs, this dropped the average C&D fee, in some cases resulting in no C&D average cost for certain RDCs.

Data Collection
Telephone calls were made to landfill scale houses and in some cases county commission offices to obtain posted gate rate fees charged at Georgia landfills. Calls were made in mid-July, to 61 landfills accepting Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and 77 landfills accepting Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste. Georgia has one incinerator, one industrial landfill and one monofill that takes only baled carpet waste; these facilities were not included in the calculation of average tipping fees.
Note that on the C&D Landfill Tipping Fees maps, the area represented by the North Georgia RDC changed from yellow in 2002, indicating the landfills in that region did not charge a separate rate for C&D waste, to dark blue in 2003, indicating they did.

MSW and C&D Landfill Tipping Fees 2003 Report
Landfill Tipping Fees: A Regional Perspective
As reported in Waste News magazine's October 2003 Market Handbook, the average landfill tipping fee in Georgia in 2003 was $28.28, with no distinction made between MSW and C&D waste. Ranked 7th in the list of the twelve (12) southeastern states, Georgia's average tipping fee is approximately $2.00 a ton less than the average tipping fee reported in the southeastern states. The prices reported by Waste News in the Northeast are far higher, with a regional average approaching $55 per ton, and a high of more than $76 per ton in the state of New Hampshire.

Grants and Loans to Local Governments
2003 Solid Waste Management Update
During Fiscal Year 2003, nearly 5.3 million dollars in Solid Waste Trust Fund (SWTF) receipts were awarded to Georgia communities to help them manage their solid waste. By fostering the development of local integrated solid waste management programs, the SWTF, funded by a $1 per tire fee when new tires are purchased in the state, is used to prevent and abate abandoned and illegally disposed scrap tires. The Fund is used to support the Environmental Protection Division's (EPD) Local Government Enforcement and Education Grant program, the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority's (GEFA) Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant program, solid waste programs offered by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and other State Agencies, and local government programs striving to reduce and manage the solid waste disposed within Georgia. In addition to the programs supported by the SWTF, the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority provides low interest loans to local governments to support their solid waste management efforts.
Environmental Protection Division (EPD)
EPD's Local Government Enforcement and Education grant program supports local efforts to prevent and enforce against illegal scrap tire and solid waste disposal. Enforcement officials know that illegal scrap tire piles have an unpleasant habit of appearing and reappearing and the support they receive from the Enforcement and Education grant program helps them prevent their spread. The program gives local governments financial incentives to use enforcement and education activities to address:
1. The management of scrap tires, including preventing the illegal dumping of scrap tires;
2. Solid waste reduction and the controlling of illegal dumps; and
3. Other environmental issues.
An eligible applicant may be comprised of one or more local governments. Grant funds are available for establishing and maintaining a Local Environmental Compliance Program that uses both enforcement and education to meet program goals. Continued grant funding is not guaranteed from year to year; renewal requests are based upon need, the performance of the Local Environmental Compliance Program, and the availability of SWTF dollars.
Grant information and application material for the Local Government Enforcement & Education program are available on the Environmental Protection Division's Web site, www.dnr.state.ga.us, under `Environmental' then under `Technical Guidance.' Or, contact Lon Revall at 404-362-4500 or email lon_revall@mail.dnr.state.ga.us
EPD disbursed nearly more than 2.2 million dollars in Local Government Enforcement & Education grants in FY 2003. The program funded projects in 52 communities, offsetting the local costs to develop and maintain a local code enforcement program to prevent and enforce against the illegal disposal and management of scrap tires and solid waste. A list of communities awarded grants in 2003 and a map of their distribution across the state can be found on the following page.

2003 Update
Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority (GEFA)
GEFA annually administers a Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant program funded by the SWTF that is intended to help local governments foster an integrated approach to solid waste management by supporting waste reduction, recycling, and composting programs. Grants of up to $50,000 are available to qualified cities, counties, and solid waste authorities. Demonstration projects or projects that implement an integrated solid waste management plan designed to help the state reach its waste reduction goal may receive grants of up to $200,000. New in FY 2003, facilities assessment grants were awarded to examine recycling and solid waste management facility activities conducted by local governments. The assessment analyzes factors including: equipment, capacity, facility layout, labor, materials, existing programs, and recycling participation rates. GEFA has pre-approved a consultant to work with local officials to conduct the assessments. Grantees that have successfully completed a facility assessment will be allowed to present a plan to GEFA and request funding for site improvements, and/or equipment purchases during subsequent grant rounds. No matching funds are required for a facility assessment grant and grant awards are awarded on an individual project basis.
GEFA Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant applications are available by request or can be downloaded from the GEFA Web site at www.gefa.org. Contact Erin Kelley at 404-656-0938 or e-mail ekelley@gefa.org to request an application or to obtain more information about GEFA's Recycling and Waste Reduction Grant program.
GEFA disbursed $593,000 in Recycling and Waste Reduction Grants in FY 2003. The program funded projects in 21 local communities, offsetting the local costs of waste reduction and recycling through the purchase of equipment for local government recycling centers and supporting the development of integrated solid waste management plans. A list of communities awarded grants in FY 2003 and a brief description of their programs are included in the table below.
