| Abstract/Contents: | "Florida's 1988 Solid Waste Management Act requires counties to meet a 30 percent recycling goal by 1994. According to a waste composition study conducted in Pinellas County, Florida, 22 percent of the solid waste generated consists of yard waste. A further composition study of yard waste indicated that half of the 22 percent, or 11 percent, constitutes grass clippings. The "Don't Bag It" Program was begun in order to document the waste reduction potential and the amount of grass clippings not entering the waste stream. The Pinellas County Department of Solid Waste Management contracted with the Pinellas County Cooperative Extension Service to conduct the study. The methodology for documenting the amount of grass clippings was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation." |
