,,.no more than one-half of the goal may be met with yard trash, white goods, <br /> construction and demolition debris, and tires that are removed from the total amount of <br /> municipal solid waste that would be disposed of in the absence of municipal solid waste <br /> recycling efforts [130A-309.09 (3)(d)]. <br /> <br /> Yard trash, white goods, construction and demolition debris, and tires, therefore, <br /> can only count for up to 12.5% of the 25% goal. <br /> <br /> 2. Composting of municipal solid waste counts toward the 25% recycling goal provided <br /> a majorily of marketable materials identified pursuant to G.S. 130-A 309.04 (b) is <br /> separated for recycling prior to composting and the use of the compost does not <br /> constitute disposal. <br /> <br />5. WHAT MATERIALS DO NOT COUNT TOWARD THE 25% GOAL? <br /> <br /> Materials that the Solid Waste Section will not count towards the goal include, <br />but are not limited to: <br /> <br /> 1. agricultural and mining wastes <br /> 2. any material that is to be burned or made into a product that is to be burned. <br /> 3. automobiles <br /> 4. materials used as fill <br /> 5. volume reduced wasle (e.g. baling and/or compaction does not constitute <br /> recycling) <br /> 6. materials recovered from landfill mining <br /> <br />The following determinations also apply: <br /> <br />1. Wastes that are diverted from landfilling or incineration cannot be counted toward <br />the 25% goal unless it can be shown that those wastes have been recycled or reused. <br /> <br />2. While backyard composting is encouraged, it cannot be counted toward the 25~ <br />recycling goal because back-yard composting is considered source reduction as opposed to <br />recycling. <br /> <br />3. Municipal solid waste incineration does not count toward the 25% recycling goal. l, <br /> <br /> <br />
