The development of economical and environmentally
sound policies, plans and methods for solid waste management in the
Town of Brookhaven is found to be of increasing importance to the
health, welfare and well-being of present and future inhabitants of
the Town. The Town's present landfill plays and will continue to play
a vital role in the Town's management of solid waste and is an important
resource which must be preserved. Separation of usable and recyclable
materials from the waste stream, as well as other resource recovery
methods, and efficient waste disposal practices will help to conserve
the available space in the Town landfill and provide effective solid
waste management for the Town. These and other waste management methods,
however, should not be implemented without careful investigation,
planning and development consistent with the overall needs of the
Town and applicable law. Accordingly, the establishment of a Department
of Recycling and Sustainable Materials Management within the Town
is necessary to undertake coordinated planning, development and enforcement
of economical and environmentally sound solid waste management policies
and practices which will meet the Town's needs and satisfy the requirements
of applicable laws.
