|
Sec. 3. State agency materials recycling program.
|
(a) All State agencies responsible for the maintenance of |
public lands in
the State shall, to the maximum extent |
feasible, use compost materials in all land maintenance
|
activities which are to be paid with public funds.
|
(a-5) All State agencies responsible for the maintenance of |
public lands in the State shall review its procurement |
specifications and policies to determine (1) if incorporating |
compost materials will help reduce stormwater run-off and |

State buildings as appropriate and feasible. Such waste |
reduction programs
shall be designed to achieve waste |
reductions of at least 25% of
all such waste by December 31, |
1995, and at least 50% of all such waste by
December 31, 2000. |
Any source separation and collection program

recycled materials,
and to ensure that purchased products or |
supplies are reusable, durable or
made from recycled materials |
