Representatives from the consulting firm of Graef, Anhalt, and Schloemer have been working the information into their report to the county board. At the last meeting of the Waste Study Advisory Com­ mittee discussion was begun on the specific alternatives recommended by the con­ sultants. The real work of the SWAC has not begun. The consultants have recommended a combination of landfilling, incineration with energy recovery, recycling and low scale composting to solve the county's solid waste problems. Specific alternatives include: Incineration of 11 percent to 22 percent of the county's waste to recovery energy, depending on whether a market is available. Establishment of drop-off centers for recycling of materials. Construction of a landfill to dispose of all wastes not handled in other ways. Composting of leaves and grass by municipalities. • Continuation of existing recycling programs by com­ munity groups and industries.
