OC leads state in waste reduction

Posted on July 27, 2011July 27, 2011 by Staff

The recently released N.C. Solid Waste and Materials Management Report shows that Orange County landfilled an average of 3.3 pounds per capita per day in fiscal year 2009-10, a reduction of 56 percent since the base year of 1991-92, representing the best waste-reduction rate in the state for the year and the county’s best ever since measurement began in 1996.

In 1997, the county and the three towns adopted a waste-reduction goal of 61percent per capita and have made steady progress toward that goal ever since. 

The report can be found at www.wastenotnc.org/swhome/AR09_10/AR09_10.pdf
