And while this has been a <br />challenge for our citizens, we recognize this situation to also present an opportunity for looking at glass and all recycling <br />materials with an innovative eye to I sustainable, market driven secondary market. We, due to orn geographic position, <br />can become known as the secondary recycling marketplace in central Washington. <br />The County will work with a consultant to conduct a feasibility study and preliminary action plan, focused on recycling <br />market development that facilitates a healthy economy inWashington State. <br />Overall Goal: <br />To develop a plan and feasibility study in order to develop local markets and processing for Washington's recyclable <br />products and materials to be hansformed or remanufacnred into usable or marketable products for use other than <br />landfill disposal. <br />Page 2 of2l <br />Template Version lA rcl 2020
