Resource recovery plant implementation: Guide for municipal officials; interim report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7293812
Resource recovery, namely the recapture and reutilization of material and energy products from municipal solid wastes, can be accomplished in two ways. Recovered resources can be segregated at the source (e.g. the home) and separately collected, or they can be separated out of the waste stream by means of high-technology mechanical processing systems. The Office of Solid Waste Management Programs recommends both these approaches, but this report concerns itself only with the latter. (GRA)
