Abstract Long Description

This annual solid waste report reflects conditions and activities in solid waste in Washington state. Chapter I discusses some emerging issues that the Solid Waste & Financial Assistance Program (SW&FAP) is dealing with in the coming year including the progress toward revising the State Solid Waste Management Plan, "Beyond Waste," and the move toward sustainable future.

The remaining chapters of the annual report discuss the solid waste infrastructure in the state, partnering for the environment through grants to local governments and efforts on specific waste streams, litter collection efforts, the 2002 statewide recycling survey results, information on waste disposal and moderate risk waste. Some of the data is for 2002 (recycling and disposal information), while other data is current to late 2003 (litter pickup numbers and facility status).
