OWMA's Policy Paper on Disposal Bans

The OWMA supports the concept of disposal bans as a means of increasing diversion; preserving landfill capacity; reducing potential environmental impact; and supporting end markets. However, disposal bans should only be used when there is a well-developed material management infrastructure and end markets are in place to address the proper handling of the material being banned.
