Draft <br /> Chapter 2 <br /> Summary of Solid Waste Management Activities Undertaken in the Past Two Years <br /> Table 2-a provides an overview of the changes made in Solid Waste Management by the <br /> County's Solid Waste Management Department. There was only one major change in solid waste <br /> activities reported by the various municipalities during the period from FY 2008-09 through the <br /> present;they all began enforcement of the ban on corrugated cardboard in the residential sector, <br /> simultaneously with the County's enforcement of the ban on it from the landfill in March 2010. <br /> Previously,the ban had been enforced on only non-residential cardboard although the Regulated <br /> Recyclable Materials Ordinance did not distinguish between residential and non-residential <br /> sources of regulated materials.The Town of Carrboro did change its ordinance to specifically <br /> reflect this change in enforcement to make their ordinance internally consistent.Neither Chapel <br /> Hill nor Hillsborough needed to make a similar change and both began enforcement and <br /> education commensurate with the County's program changes. The various changes made at <br /> Solid Waste Convenience Centers are incorporated into the Solid Waste Department's Table 2-a. <br /> Remainder of this page intentionally blank <br /> 31 <br />
