摘要

California cities are facing an ultimatum: They must divert 50 percent of their waste from landfills by the year 2000, according to the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989. Santa Clarita targeted yard trimmings collection as one way to achieve this goal. Recently, it conducted a survey of cities in neighboring counties to evaluate how their costs and operational techniques compared.
