HD3 - Annual Report of the Virginia Recycling Markets Development Council


Executive Summary:
The legislation, establishing the Virginia Recycling Markets Development Council requires the Council to report annually to the Governor and the General Assembly on its findings and recommendations. Since its inception, the Council has attempted to complete its reporting on a Calendar Year basis. This frequently means that data on the status and health of the recycling industry is not available in a timely fashion for the Council’s consideration. Also, Calendar Year reporting is frequently complicated by the annual changeover in Council officers and every four years in the transition of the entire Council. To address these issues, which have complicated the Council’s annual reporting, the Council believes that Fiscal Year reporting may be more appropriated. Therefore, to provide the necessary transition, this 1999-2000 Annual Report of the Virginia Recycling Markets Development Council covers an eighteen-month period. Future Annual Reports will be prepared on a Fiscal Year basis.
