TITLE II—SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL 
SHORT TITLE 
SEC. 201. This title (hereinafter referred to as "this Act") may be Di?o"ai^Act*" 
cited as the "Solid Waste Disposal Act". 
isposa 
riNDINGS AND PURPOSES 
SEC. 202. (a) The Confess finds— 
(1) that the continuing technological progress and improve-
ment in methods of manufacture, packaging, and marketing of 
consumer products has resulted in an ever-mounting increase, and 
in a change in the characteristics, of the mass of material dis-
carded by the purchaser of such products; 
(2) that the economic and population growth of our Nation, 
and the improvements in the standard of living enjoyed by our 
population, have required increased industrial production to meet 
our needs, and have made necessary the demolition of old build-
ings, the construction of new buildings, and the provision of high-
ways and other avenues of transportation, which, together with 
related industrial, commercial, and agricultural operations, have 
resulted in a rising tide of scrap, discarded, and waste materials; 
(3) that the continuing concentration of our population in ex-
panding metropolitan and other urban areas has presented these 
communities with serious financial, management, intergovern-
mental, and technical problems in the disposal of solid wastes re-
sulting from the industrial, commercial, domestic, and other ac-
tivities carried on in such areas; 
(4) that inefficient and improper methods of disposal of solid 
wastes result in scenic blights, create serious hazards to the public 
health, including pollution of air and water resources, accident 
hazards, and increase in rodent and insect vectors of disease, have 
an adverse effect on land values, create public nuisances, other-
wise interfere with community life and development; 
(5) that the failure or inability to salvage and reuse such 
materials economically results in the unnecessary waste and de-
pletion of our natural resources; and 
(6) that while the collection and disposal of solid wastes should 
continue to be primarily the function of State, regional, and local 
agencies, the problems of waste disposal as set forth above have 
become a matter national in scope and in concern and necessitate 
Federal action through financial and technical assistance and 
leadership in the development, demonstration, and application of 
new and improved methods and processes to reduce the amount of 
waste and unsalvageable materials and to provide for proper and 
economical solid-waste disposal practices. 
(b) The purposes of this Act therefore are— 
(1) to initiate and accelerate a national research and develop-
ment program for new and improved methods of proper and 
economic solid-waste disposal, including studies directed toward 
the conservation of natural resources by reducing the amount of 
waste and unsalvageable materials and by recovery and utilization 
of potential resources in solid wastes; and 
(2) to provide technical and financial assistance to State and 
local governments and interstate agencies in the planning, devel-
opment, and conduct of solid-waste disposal programs.
