Maximize the recovery of energy.and materials from solid and hazardous wasteS that is economlcally feasible. Policies 5a. The Metropolitan Council supports and encourages the development of waste processing facilities to reclaim materials and/or energy that are not separated and recovered on-site. 5b. Where technically and economically feasible, solid and hazardous waste processing facilities should separate recoverable materials so they can be used agazn. 5c. Whenever practicable, neW or modified incinerators should be able to recover energy. FINAL DISPOSAL Solid and hazardous waste management practices other than landfilling will not replace the need for final waste disposal sites. Final dispoal means that the waste is either placed where its constituents cannot escape to the environment~ ~r applied to the land in a way that its constituentS can be asszm~lated by the physical · nment.
