The Pesource Recovery vision of the havironmental
Protection Agency has recently completed the enclosed
study. Energy Conservation Through Improved Solid Waste
Management.

The study presents some estimates of energy conservation potential that could result from source reduction, energy recovery, recycling and improved collection. It also presents an overview of energy recovery methods and a survey of energy recovery activity throughout the country.

The consideration of energy conservation and energy recovery legislation makes this report particularly timely. I hope you find it to be useful during your deliberations.
