According to reports prepared by Franklin Associates, Ltd for the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the United States generated 209.1 million tons of municipal solid waste in 1994. The distribution of waste by weight for 1994 was: 38.9% paper and paper board, 14.6% yard wastes, 9.5% plastics, 7.6% metals, 7.0% wood, 6.7% food wastes, 6.3% glass, 3.2% other wastes, 3.1% textiles, and 3.0% rubber and leather. It is critical to note that many of the materials in our landfills could easily be disposed of through alternate methods. [These figures were all reported in the 1996 edition of The Statistical Abstract of the United States.]

In responsible recognition of these facts, communities need to become creative in their methods for disposing or managing solid waste from plastics and paper to motor oil and yard waste. Solid waste disposal has become a major concern in rural areas. It potentially threatens public health, ruins the environment, and hinders economic development because of an overall poor impression of the area. Recycling, composting, and vericomposting are the methods emphasized in this publication. These techniques are relatively easy and inexpensive alternatives for individuals, small communities, and rural areas to use to take positive steps toward solving solid waste management and disposal dilemmas that plague many areas.

Where and how to begin is a critical issue for all communities, especially rural communities with limited resources. This bibliography serves as a starting point for small communities and concerned individuals to examine the issues and begin to plan feasible programs. Keeping apprised of the regulations and new technologies benefits the planning process. The Additional Resource Section provides information sources of officials to contact, journals, newsletters, and additional significant information necessary for decision-makers and others in the communities.

This publication is designed to make the variety of available resources easily available. Alternatives to Waste Disposal is comprised of bibliographic citations and other information sources. These references are not inclusive. They were selected as a representative sample of the available resources. Although the majority of the works cited are recent, a few older publications were selected because of their quality and overall contribution to the literature.

With the recent rise in popularity of information networked electronically through the Internet, especially its World Wide Web interface, and a nearly countless multitude of Intranets, it is tempting to use a publication such as this to collect these information sources. In late 1997 the average lifespan of a site on the World Wide Web was 45 days making these transient resources too unstable to assemble. We have added Internet and E-mail addresses for many of the Associations. The author encourages the user to seek more information about this topic through the use of Internet resources by consulting your local library.

Please consult your local libraries to locate materials listed in this publication. The National Agricultural Library (NAL) call numbers are provided for the items owned by NAL.

This is a sample listing of the tremendous variety of books, handbooks, manuals, and guides available about alternative methods of solid waste disposal. Many are specialty books about different aspects of solid waste disposal: recycling, composting, specific recyclable materials, household hazardous wastes, collection methods, or waste disposal methods. These books are written for a wide variety of audiences: municipal officials, individuals or groups concerned about the environment, researchers, educators, and children.
