A resolution of the Arkansas Association of Regional Solid Waste Management Districts as adopted by the Faulkner County Solid Waste Management District to set standard rules and regulations governing the distribution and administration of the Recycling Grants Program.
This is a resolution in support of Act1333 of 2013 with the intent to use recycling grant funds for the purpose of recycling activities as described herein.
The Association finds that recycling glass, plastic, cans, paper and other materials will reduce the state'sreliance upon landfills. Additionally, other solid waste reduction activities will help reduce the state's dependence on landfills: using waste items as raw materials in a production process, using waste items to produce an end product without recycling, using waste items as fuel and/or other activities as approved by individual Solid Waste Management District (SWMD) Boards. Solid waste reduction activities mean other activities that divert materials from landfills for reuse, including all of the above without limitation.The Faulkner County Solid Waste District is in agreement with the Association’s findings.

The AHEC network was launched in 1972 by federal legislation in response to the Carnegie Report on the workforce, which found severe shortages of health professionals existing nationwide. The LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans received a grant from the national AHEC program in 1989 to establish the Louisiana AHEC system. SWLAHEC was formed in 1991 to fill a recognized need for better coordination of regional health and education programs to benefit the residents of southwest Louisiana.
SWLAHEC has a 22-year history of administering numerous grants and contracts to coordinate, implement, and evaluate community-based health and education programs for target populations. Service programs currently cover the areas of career exposure, health promotion, wellness education and community health support services.
