As testimony to the Regional Council of Rural Counties'
commitment to environmental stewardship, the RCRC Board
of Directors adopted the following policy on March 21,
2007:
"RCRC
supports producer responsibility for financing and
arranging the collection and recycling of their
products at end-of-life. Producer
responsibility removed the financial burden from
local governments and makes recycling become a cost
of doing business. Placing the responsibility
with manufacturers/retailers will additionally
provide incentive for products to be redesigned in a
manner to eliminate or reduce their impact and to
increase their recyclability. RCRC prefers
producer responsibility through product take-back by
the manufacturers/retailers. RCRC will
consider the reasonable use of Advanced Recycling
Fees and Advanced Disposal Fees."
In line with this pledge, the ESJPA signed a Letter of
Agreement with the California Product Stewardship
Council (CPSC) on August 16, 2007.
No Workshops are scheduled at the time. Please
check back often for updates.
