Solid waste has emerged as one of the major environmental issues of the “new millennium.” This is the result of several significant factors including:
Subtitle D rules of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
- Growing public concern regarding ground water contamination and methane gas from existing landfills
- Closure of existing landfills and increasing difficulty in siting new ones
- Increased public interest in recycling, waste minimization and beneficial use of waste
- Increased costs for disposal
- Growing public concern regarding the proper disposal of household hazardous waste
