Abstract:

In response to this growing materials management challenge, EPA is assisting the USVI in exploring ways to reduce the quantity of materials managed by landfilling in the USVI by employing sustainable waste management alternatives. To assist the USVI, EPA approached Industrial Economics, Inc. (IEc) to conduct a preliminary study to identify and assess the technical and economic considerations of landfill diversion opportunities potentially available to the USVI, and to identify opportunities for integrated, cross material management approaches.
