I <br />CHAPTER 10 <br />INTEGRATION COMPONENT <br />I. <br />INTRODUCTION: <br />An Integration Component is required as part of the <br />Source Reduction and Recycling Element. Its purpose is to <br />describe how the Source Reduction, Recycling, Compost, and <br />Special Waste Components are integrated to maximize their <br />effectiveness in achieving the 25% and 50% waste reduction <br />required by the ACT. <br />The Integration Component must also describe the solid <br />waste management practices which encourage source reduction, <br />utilize recycling and composting, and promote environmentally <br />safe transformation and land disposal. <br />An implementation schedule must be included showing all <br />the tasks necessary to carry out the plan in the short term. <br />II. How the Source Reduction, Recycling, Compost, and Special Waste <br />Components Combine to Achieve the 25% and 50% Waste Reduction <br />Goals: <br />The ACT established a hierarchy for integrated waste <br />management - Source Reduction, Recycling, Compost, <br />Transformation, and Landfill Disposal. This Integration <br />Component describes the County's program to manage its waste <br />stream in the order of priorities established by the <br />hierarchy. <br />r <br />
