SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCE RECOVERY
The collection and disposal of Municipal Solid Wastes
is a large and increasingly expensive function of the City of
Newport Beach. The City will seek to minimize or recoup these
costs by encouraging and promoting the development and use of
solid waste resource recovery systems whenever possible.
Various resource recovery technologies are becoming more
practicable and economically feasible as research and testing
are stimulated by the rising costs of energy and the decreasing
availability of conventional landfill disposal sites. Private
industry is becoming more involved as the profit — making potential
rises due to tax advantages, guaranteed markets, and proven
technology. Recognizing that costs, techology, and siting require
extensive further study, it shall be the policy of the City to
encourage and promote the development of solid waste resource
recovery systems in Orange County in order to conserve energy
and defray the increasing expense of refuse disposal.
