Additional study is <br />needed to determine if organized collection may benefit commercial <br />and industrial waste generators. <br />2. Organized collection reduces adverse environmental impacts when <br />more than one hauler services a given area or provides the same <br />type of collection service. <br />3. Organized collection does not inherently increase participation <br />in recycling or other abatement programs. it can be implemented in <br />ways that would help to achieve toe abatement objectives of the <br />Solid 'Waste Management Guide/?olio plan. <br />4. Organized collection cannot substitute for waste designation by <br />the county, but can c:mplament it. <br />Municioalities and towns have adecuate authority to organize col- <br />lection of residential refuse. <br />o. Organized collection of residential refuse may be a net benefit to <br />solid wasta management because it .may reduce costs and environ- <br />mental impacts; help implement abatement programs; and imorove <br />information about waste generation, composition and abatement. <br />1. There is no need for a regional system for implementation of <br />organized collection. however, individual communities should <br />consider the potential benefits of organized collection. <br />M <br />
