A resolution of the Arkansas Association of Regional Solid Waste Management Districts as adopted by the Faulkner County Solid Waste Management District to set standard rules and regulations governing the distribution and administration of the Recycling Grants Program.
This is a resolution in support of Act1333 of 2013 with the intent to use recycling grant funds for the purpose of recycling activities as described herein.
The Association finds that recycling glass, plastic, cans, paper and other materials will reduce the state'sreliance upon landfills. Additionally, other solid waste reduction activities will help reduce the state's dependence on landfills: using waste items as raw materials in a production process, using waste items to produce an end product without recycling, using waste items as fuel and/or other activities as approved by individual Solid Waste Management District (SWMD) Boards. Solid waste reduction activities mean other activities that divert materials from landfills for reuse, including all of the above without limitation.The Faulkner County Solid Waste District is in agreement with the Association’s findings.
