Title: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT OF 2007
Status: 03/29/2007 – House Committee On Environment and Natural Resources
Comments: This bill represents a major shift in solid waste policy in the state in that it is not prompted by any changes to federal law. It forces counties to go to smaller landfills but its requirements make county landfills cost-prohibitive. The basic goal of the bill is to turn North Carolina from a net importer of solid waste to a net exporter. Among many changes, the bill increases the tipping fee to $2 per ton, requires liners for construction and demolition landfills and requires leche collection systems.
