Report Summary

  • Retain the statewide recycling standard of 38%, which we believe is attainable with improved recycling efforts. However, the recycling goal should be increased from 30% to 38% for large counties.
  • Transfer responsibility for the state's recycling contract from the Department of Management Services to the Department of Environmental Protection.
