Procurement Policies to Encourage
Purchase of Recycle, Reusable, and
Recyclable Materials - Page Two
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
AB 939 mandates that local jurisdictions reduce the amount of solid
waste disposed of in landfills by 25% by the year 1995 and by 50%
by the year 2000. The use of recycled, reusable, and recyclable
materials throughout County Government and other public agencies
can have a significant impact on meeting the AB 939 goals.
In early May, Supervisor Fanden wrote various public agencies
asking them to explore purchasing of recycled materials. The
AB 939 Task Force supported her suggestion at their May 15, 1991
meeting.
Board approval will allow establishing a County Government
committee and a county-city-special district task force to consider
procurement policies which foster the purchase of recycled,
reusable, and recyclable materials.
