Federal, Department of Defense, US Army, and Commonwealth of Virginia regulations as well as Executive Orders require that in the process of managing solid waste every opportunity to utilize waste reduction/minimization techniques and technologies are undertaken. The goal is to consistently increase the percentage of recyclables diverted from the solid waste stream (landfill disposal and/or incineration) through establishment of milestones that include both quantities and target dates.
