The state of garbage in America

Article Abstract:

Fewer laws were passed on recycling in the United States in 1992, although a few states enacted comprehensive legislations in fixing waste reduction goals and banning certain chemical products from disposal. Two comprehensive laws passed in the neighboring states of South Dakota and Nebraska stipulated waste reduction goals of 50% and a ban on the disposal of motor oil, batteries and newsprint.
