Excerpt from Economic Analysis of Solid Waste Systems for Rural Cities in the Southeast
The design and management of solid waste systems in large cities and metropolitan areas have received considerable attention and study. Less attention has been given to the waste management problems of smaller communities (less than l0,000). Solid waste management in smaller communi ties is often more difficult because of small staffs and lower budgets for public services. While most larger cities have full-time staff, small cities generally do not have full-time waste management departments and thus have more difficulty in planning and developing efficient systems.
The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 applies to small cities as well as large areas. Many State and local governments have enacted legislation imposing environmental regulations on the collection and disposal of solid waste. State and local officials and planners are faced with the task of developing solid waste management systems that meet environmental require ments in an economical manner.
