(1)
Source reduction.
(2)
Recycling and composting.
(3)
Environmentally safe transformation and environmentally safe land disposal, at the discretion of the city or county.
(b)
Maximize the use of all feasible source reduction, recycling, and composting options in order to reduce the amount of solid waste that must be disposed of by transformation and land disposal.
