EXECUTIVE
ORDER NO. 142
2004 - 2005 ANNUAL REPORT FORM
SOURCE
REDUCTION, RECYCLING AND PROCUREMENT INITIATIVES
BY STATE AGENCIES
Executive Order No. 142 directs
all State agencies to maximize opportunities to reduce the amount
of waste generated, to recycle material recoverable from the
solid waste originating at their facilities, and to maximize
the procurement of recycled products.
The active participation by State
agencies in source reduction and recycling sends a positive
message to the public, who is mandated, as we are, to undertake
these activities under the Solid Waste Management Act of 1988.
This Act sets a hierarchy for proper solid waste management
in New York State which lists source reduction, reuse and recycling
as the highest waste management priorities.
