C.S. Ch. 23 Subch. A (Relating to intergovernmental cooperation)).

All materials claimed must be source separated; post-consumer; generated within the boundaries of the local government applicant; diverted from the municipal waste stream; and recycled or marketed. Source-separated recyclable materials are materials separated from municipal waste at the point of origin (home, business, institution) for the purpose of recycling. These include commingled recyclables and single stream recyclables (recyclables collected together). For more information see program instructions and information document.
