Abstract

The Act seeks to reduce the amount of solid waste generated in the state by imposing restrictions on the disposal of tires and yard trimmings and by utilizing source reduction and planning methodologies. In addition, the Act seeks to expand Georgia's current municipal solid waste landfill space by permitting certain landfills to expand vertically, until they can meet the new landfill design requirements to expand horizontally.
