Office and computer paper, old newspaper, magazines, telephone books, corrugated cardboard, or other marketable paper products and plastic, aluminum and steel, cumulatively may count towards sixty-five percent of the waste reduction goal. Appropriate methods and technology include recycling facilities.

    Every municipality or other political subdivision responsible for solid waste management shall comply with each of these landfill waste reduction targets. If the governing body, after an open meeting allowing public input, finds that recycling of the solid waste in a manner consistent with the reduction targets provided by this section is unavailable, the governing body may by ordinance exempt the political subdivision from any of the waste reduction targets provided by this section.


    Beginning July 1, 1998, any municipality or other political subdivision responsible for solid waste management shall receive one cent for each percent of solid waste reduction achieved and documented for the previous year from the disposal fee paid pursuant to §  34A-6-81. The municipality or other political subdivision responsible for solid waste management shall distribute these moneys to recycling facilities based upon the percentage determined from the actual tonnage receipts of the recyclable materials delivered to market. If a municipality or other political subdivision responsible for solid waste management does not reach the fifty percent goal as set forth in §  34A-6-60 by July 1, 2001, the municipality or other political subdivision responsible for solid waste management is not eligible for additional percentage match.
