— J.E. PEAVY, M.D., Commissioner ol Health -
Environmental health
authorities have found a vast,
largely neglected treasure in an
unlikely place: the nation's
trash piles.
A couple of years ago,
when the environment was at-
the forefront of public alien
lion, the solid waste problem,
was a major concern. Ther<(
seemed to be only two ways to
deal with the ton of trash that
every American produces in a
year’s time either burn it or
bury it.
But today, according to
environmental health officials
of the Texas State Health
Department, the solid wash
"problem" has become a
challenging opportunity, a
sensible, economical way to
help overcome some ol the
shortages in raw materials that
have plagued the nation. Solid
waste, the authorities say, is
our most neglected natural
resource.
Enormous progress has
been made in the past lew
years in the development of
methods for reclaiming usable
materials from the nation's
junkpiles. What was at one
time a Utopian dream is
becoming an everyday reality:
the ability to recycle virtuallv
all of the waste and refuse
produced by our high consump
tion society. Furthermore, the
growing scarcity of vital raw
materials has naturally made
catbage cans has become
ecoitionicallv feasible and ev on
v«■ r . profitable

Of course, after all the tin
cans, newspapers, and
aluminum scrap have been
recovered from your garbage
can, there's still a lot ol garbage
left. Table scraps and other
organic materials can't be
recovered and recycled the way
tin cans or newsprint can. But
there are ways that even the
most "useless" garbage can be
put to good use
You could, for example,
put your wet garbage and fable
scraps into a com|ms! pile and
produce enough natural left ill/
er lor a good si/ed garden. Or
you'could use organic waste in
feed a still that produces
methane ga-- a gas that is
almost ideal lor cooking,
heating, and even luelmg a
small motor.

The State of Connecticut
has gone even further in its
materials recovery effort.
There, the entire stale is being
tied into a single, massive
recycling system. Household
and industrial waste from
everywhere m the state will be
taken to a number of
centralized processing centers,
where recoverable materials
will be removed and the rest
will be shredded and burned to
produce elect rical power.
According to authorities,^
iln ‘State Health department,
Texas could have a system
similar to Con tied icul-'s but,
ot . oui'se. a great deal larger.
