Short Description

The 1989 Washington Legislature passed ESHB 1671, a comprehensive solid waste bill that will bring about significant changes in the way Washington Citizens handle their garbage. The bill calls for waste reduction and source separation to become the fundamental strategies of solid waste management and establishes an agresive state goal to achive a fifty percent recycling rate by 1995. This Focus Sheet outlines the key provisions of this bill.
