Fiscal Detail and Notes
Additional costs associated with the Department of Environmental Protection studying and identifying best practices to reduce the amount of solid waste disposal, increase recycling of solid waste and generate revenue for municipalities from recycling activities can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.  The department undertakes similar efforts due to the existing statutory obligation to update the State's Waste Management and Recycling Plan.
