3. The First 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Diverting waste from landfills
• To process:
– Yard waste
– Commercial waste
– Residential waste
– Paper and paperboard
• Decrease organic waste disposed of at landfills
• Review organics technologies and potential
sites

Energy Recovery
The 4th R: Materials and Energy Recovery
Energy Recovery
• Long-term goal to eliminate landfilling of unprocessed waste
• Waste-to-Energy reduces waste to 5% of original volume
• Consider technologies and their potential environmental and air
quality effects
