§ 16-1. Purpose.

Latest version.

The City of Warren finds that the reduction of the amount of solid waste and conservation of recyclable materials is an important public purpose.

The separation and collection of paper, cardboard, glass, cans and vegetative yard waste for recycling from the residential establishments in this municipality will minimize the adverse environmental effects of landfilling by reducing the need for landfills and conserving existing landfill capacity, facilitate the implementation and operation of other forms of resource recovery, conserve natural resources and reduce the cost of solid waste disposal in general. The promotion and use of recyclable materials, goods produced from recyclable materials and goods which facilitate recycling will further serve the same purposes by encouraging and facilitating recycling.
