Editable-Baltimore's Fair Development Plan for Zero Waste - Flipbook - Page 7
1. Defend and Enforce the Clean Air Act in Baltimore City holding polluting incinerators to higher
standards than current state or federal government regulations.
2. End Baltimore City’s Contract with BRESCO in 2021 allowing for materials to be properly
managed using Zero Waste infrastructure.
3. End subsidies for trash incineration at the state level - remove trash incineration as a Tier 1
source of renewable energy in the state’s renewable portfolio standard.
4. Adopt Zero Waste bridge strategy calling for expanded collections and increased processing
and transfer capacity. Arrange transfer to landfills and compost facilities outside of Baltimore
(possibly together with Baltimore County), provide free recycling and composting carts and
expand recycling and composting programs.
5. Fully Fund Zero Waste Plan initiatives
6. Pass Priority Zero Waste policies
7. Adopt incentives for waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting and disincentives to
make burning and burying waste more expensive
