breeding grounds of disease, and restore
the beauty and usefulness of the land
they love.
The purpose of MISSION 5000 is to
eliminate open dumps — those random
ugly accumulations of discards that
blotch our cities and blight our country-
side — and to replace them with environ-
mentally sound, non-polluting methods of
waste disposal.
there is no reason to wait
Modern, workable systems of solid
waste processing and disposal have
been developed. The sanitary landfill has
replaced open dumps in many progres-
sive communities. If your community is
not yet using modern disposal methods,
now is the time to end open dumping and
eliminate forever this unsightly and in-
excusable source of pollution.
Eliminating open dumps will make your
community, and America, a better place
in which to live. It is a first, essential step
toward full application of new, environ-
mentally sound principles in solid waste
management.

certain items, such as newspapers, be-
fore collection, so that they may be re-
claimed. In a few places, waste manage-
ment agencies are experimenting with
methods for extracting reusable materials
after trash collection, such as "mining"
with magnetic devices to retrieve ferrous
metals.
The Resource Recovery Act, enacted
by the Congress in 1970, made resource
recovery a prime focus of the Federal
solid waste management program carried
out by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). A national effort is now
being made to overcome the barriers to
massive recycling of our waste resources.
Spurred by Federal research, private
firms are now giving attention to the
development of systems to automatically
separate and salvage huge amounts of
household wastes after collection. Such
mechanical techniques, if proved practi-
cal, could theoretically serve large cities
or groups of cities, funnel back into pro-

• Determine if your community's methods

• If they do not, ask local officials what
special problems are preventing your
community from adopting modern dis-

your support. They need it.
• Ask your State solid waste manage-

its plans, and what resources are
available to accomplish this.
