Chair Hayducsko explained that this section is to make manufacturers more responsible for <br />their products with the hope to make remanufacturing easier. The hope would be that, <br />manufacturers would make their products less toxic and make it easier to recycle. Also, <br />hoping to put the responsibility on the manufacturer to recycle their product; rather than <br />the government. <br /> Implement a campaign to develop EPR for difficult-to recycle products, and lobby <br />state and federal lawmakers to advance EPR initiatives RETAINǾ ¡´³ ±¤¶®±£  ­£ <br />refocus  ­£ ¢®¬¡¨­¤ ¶¨³§ ¢§ ¯³¤± ±¤¥¤±¤­¢¤  ¡®µ¤ȁ &®¢´² ®­ ¥¨­£¨­¦ ¶ ¸² ³® <br />¢®¬¬´­¨¢ ³¤ ³® 3³ ³¤  ­£ &¤£¤± « , ¶¬ ª¤±²  ² ¶¤««  ² ¶®±ª¨­¦ ³®¦¤³§¤± ¶¨³§ <br />®³§¤± ¢®´­³¨¤² ³® ¯±¨®±¨³¨¹¤   «¨²³ȁ <br />#§ ¯³¤± 2¤¥¤±¤­¢¤ ΒȁΔȁΐ  ­£ ΒȁΕȨΐȩ <br /> Implement a County government source reduction program, by implementing <br />policies, procedures, and incentive programs that will reduce waste streams currently <br />being generated within various County departments and agencies.

He sees illegally <br />dumping daily even though going to the transfer station is free. He feels that there should <br />be some kind of strategy for this program. <br />Ms. Bell commented that it would take at least two years of education to get people to <br />understand. Starting with step 1 start by issuing a sticker for your bag, but it's free. Then <br />the stickers would be $.05 cents, then $.25 cent to $4.00. She suggested to start with a slow <br />approach. <br />Mr. Buklarewicz commented that when doing research on any successful PAYT program; <br />that you would see a spike in illegal dumping; but, it would level off after a while. He said <br />that the people that choose to illegally dump will continue dump illegally and that would be <br />problem to be addressed separately. <br />Mr. Araujo would like to know who will be responsible for the trash that is being illegally <br />dumped. He would like to know if it would it be the government that will be responsible to <br />pick it up and dispose of it or would it be the landowner, who would need to pay a tipping <br />fee to throw it away? He said that this should be a thing that is really thought out before <br />implementing. <br />Chair Hayducsko suggested that as a group we could recommend doing a study and look at <br />what options are out there and at the same time get the communities involved. <br />Ў <br /> <br /> <br />
