SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Department of Environmental Quality; Waste Diversion and Recycling Task Force; report. Requests the Department of Environmental Quality to establish a Waste Diversion and Recycling Task Force to meet to discuss ways to increase waste diversion and recycling. The resolution requests that the Task Force include stakeholders to discuss (i) methods of improving recycling, reducing waste, and diverting waste from landfills; (ii) recommendations to reduce waste at the source, such as composting and recycling of organic material; and (iii) whether current recycling rates required by Virginia law should be increased and whether state policy should be changed to give landfills a greater role in the management of organic material. It also requests that the Task Force discuss potential improvements in the goals and efficiency of the grant program funded by the Litter Control and Recycling Fund, which under current law is used to fund local litter prevention, recycling grants to localities, and statewide and regional litter prevention and recycling educational program grants.
