1960-1990
1965-Solid Waste Disposal Act- The Government authorizes research on site inventory, resource recovery, landfill research and also provides state solid waste grants. In 1968 more than 33% of U.S. cities waste is separated in some manner. Shortly after President Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency, recycling resources and overall environment become a major concern.
Around this time the concept of the “Transfer station” was introduced to help larger cities manage more waste. Transfer stations are large warehouse buildings designed to package waste, then transport the waste to incinerators or large landfills further away. They help waste haulers cut down on long travel times to distant landfills. These stations saved many large cities because the haulers were able to collect more waste in a shorter time.
Many states start recycling programs like pay-per-can, buy-back and newspaper curb recycling. In 1976 the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act is created to plan for recycling, conservation and waste management.
Toward the end of the 80’s the EPA sets a 25% waste reduction/recycling goal which is achieved shortly afterward. Amazingly twenty-six states have laws regulating recycling.
In 1971 the Maxon Barell Snatcher was introduced to waste haulers. It was nicknamed “Godzilla” for it’s mammoth size and ability to pick up 300 gallon containers over its head. It was replaced later by a mechanical side-load model still used today. “Godzilla” proved that too much size is not always the most productive – although it is still a personal favorite.
