Waste Management : Observations on the Congressionally Approved New Hampshire-Vermont Solid Waste Compact

By General Accounting Office

Description
Government Accountability Integrity Reliability Office Collection

Excerpt
Excerpt: Managing garbage and other solid waste poses a significant challenge for many communities, particularly small ones. Over the past 4 decades, the amount of waste destined for landfills-the traditional method of solid waste disposal-increased dramatically, from 88 million tons in 1960 to 232 million tons in 2000, or by about 6.6 percent annually. During the same period, significant numbers of landfills closed as federal and state regulatory requirements were strengthened. From 1988 to 2000 alone, about 75 percent of the nation?s landfills ceased operation, according to data from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To meet these challenges, some communities have banded together under regional agreements or interstate agreements-sometimes referred to as compacts-that help them jointly manage their waste. Such agreements help participating communities avoid duplication of costs and take advantage of economies of scale.
