Solid Waste Disposal Act  

Definición

  • Before the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) became law on October 20, 1965, open pits of smelly garbage could be found rotting on the edge of sprawling cities and towns in the United States. This act, passed as Title II of the Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act of 1965, was the first attempt by the federal government to address the growing problem of solid waste accumulation that was facing the nation.
