Lindsey, G

Numerous barriers to implementing successful source separation and recycling programs exist in Illinois, many of which are market-related. There is significant concern in the private sector that existing markets for secondary materials could not absorb the large volumes of materials that would be generated if many communities separated their wastes for recycling. To address this problem the Department of Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) contracted with the Illinois Association of Recycling Centers (LARC) to develop a computerized data base of information about recycling businesses and organizations in Illinois and to prepare a report on barriers to recycling, including recommendations of possible actions, policies, and programs to minimize or eliminate them. The report is the final product of the project. It is based primarily on data collected in a survey of recycling businesses that was undertaken to compile the database.
