The County is presently <br />examining the feasibility of recycling C&D waste disposed of at their landfill and is <br />also establishing an aluminum can recycling program in conjunction with local <br />corporations. Furthermore, the County has hired a Recycling Coordinator to aid in <br />identifying new recycled material markets and to develop good relationships with all <br />municipalities and several commercial, industrial and institutional waste generators. <br /> <br />Reaching the waste reduction goals for the future requires continued efforts to <br />promote public awareness. Raising the public's consciousness would be <br />accomplished through education programs at schools and outreach programs <br />targeted to commercial and industrial waste generators. <br /> <br />5.4 Reuse <br />Current Program: The County and its municipalities do not currently have an <br />extensive reuse program. <br /> <br />Intended Actions: The new household hazardous waste collection facility includes a <br />"paint swap shop".
