Recommendation SW1: Encourage inclusion of Beyond Waste principles into local plans.

Continue to encourage local planning jurisdictions to revise or update their local Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plans to incorporate Beyond Waste principles and actions.

Milestone SW A: Reducing the volume and toxicity of waste is a goal of all solid waste plans. At least 75 percent of planning jurisdictions have implemented activities in at least one initiative or issue area, and 50 percent of planning jurisdictions have implemented activities in two or more initiative or issue areas (green building, environmentally preferred purchasing, organics, etc.).
