Montana Integrated Waste Management Act
The Montana Integrated Waste Management Act established a 25% solid waste reduction goal for state government and requires each state agency, the Legislature and the University System to participate in the program. Under the Act, they are required to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The Act is presently undergoing revision by the Department of Environmental Quality.
