Mission StatementMassachusetts' waste generation continues to outpace the state's disposal capacity resulting in the need to export trash to other states. Increasing pressure is being placed on each state, by the Environmental Protection Agency, to provide disposal capacity for all the waste it generates. Incinerators and landfills are both sources of pollution affecting the quality of our air and water; building more of these facilities is not the answer. Therefore, the mission of Lowell's Recycling office is to reduce the amount of trash generated by our City. The approach to waste reduction needs to take many forms. We will continue to look for ways to raise awareness regarding the programs offered, increase recycling opportunities, promote re-use by keeping useful items out of the waste stream, and to promote source reduction. Most importantly, education within our school system and the community is a significant component of our broad approach. Your ideas and comments are welcomed. Please use the Feedback form on this website to contact our Recycling Coordinator. |
