(1) Proposals to export solid waste from the
United States to foreign countries are increasing. In
numerous instances exported waste has contami-
nated the environment, adversely affected public
health, and contributed to foreign policy liabilities
for the United States.
(2) Exports of solid waste are being undertaken
to avoid the community opposition and higher treat-
ment and disposal expenses that are associated with
waste disposal, treatment, and recycling in the
United States.
(3) Increasingly, hazardous waste exports are
justified by the agreeable term ‘‘recycling’’, even
though the result of the export is a transfer of pollu-
tion to areas of the world with little capability to
manage that pollution.
(4) Continued exports of solid waste serve as a
disincentive to implementation of existing domestic
policy, which recognizes reuse and waste reduction
as the best methods of solid waste management.
(5) Imports of waste from foreign countries
strain diminishing domestic waste disposal capacity,
threaten public health, and contaminate the environ-
ment.
