| Abstract | Long Description |
This background information paper for the Beyond Waste Summary Document discusses the financial issues for solid waste that have a bearing on the efforts to achieve the Beyond Waste goals. The paper includes background on the current funding system, predominantly funded through user fees, and discusses how this current funding structure might best be used to adequately carry us into the future. The paper calls for a systematic look at the solid waste financing system and the factors that affect it (including product life cycle costs). Other issues covered include some factors to consider in redirecting or enhancing the funding structure, and some criteria and objectives that should be met to help assure the infrastructure on which to lay the foundation for Beyond Waste initiatives. |
