The secretary of the Energy and Environment Cabinet shall assume the primary
responsibility in state government for implementing a source separation and
collection program for waste materials generated as a result of state agency
operations, including, at a minimum, aluminum, high grade office paper, and
corrugated paper.
The cabinet shall establish procedures for collection and storage of recovered
material and contractual or other arrangements for transportation and purchase of
recovered materials. Every state agency of the executive, legislative, and judicial
branches of state government and all state-supported institutions of higher
education, in cooperation with the cabinet, shall develop a plan to conduct source
separation and collection activities for recovered materials.
A state agency or institution may elect to operate its own source separation program
upon review and approval by the cabinet.
The secretary of the Energy and Environment Cabinet shall take or cause to be
taken such actions as may be necessary to:
(a) Identify the geographical location of existing or potential markets for
recovered materials and energy generated;
(b) Identify the economic and technical barriers to the use of recovered materials
and energy generated;
(c) Identify sound technologies, techniques, and processes for resource recovery
and energy generated applicable to both urban and rural areas of Kentucky;
(d) Encourage the development of new uses for recovered materials; and
(e) Encourage and promote the development of new markets for recovered
materials.
Funds received by the Energy and Environment Cabinet from the source separation
and collection program as described in this section shall be utilized by the cabinet to
defray the cost of conducting the activities outlined in this section. Funds received
by any other state agency or institution from an approved source separation
collection program may be used to offset costs of the program. Any moneys
generated by the cabinet or other state agencies or institutions in excess of the
amounts needed to conduct these activities shall be placed in the resource
conservation and recovery fund and be used for other litter abatement activities.
There is created within the State Treasury a trust and agency fund, which shall not
lapse, to be known as the resource conservation and recovery fund. Any
appropriations, gifts, grants or program revenues received by the cabinet relating to
resource recovery and litter abatement shall be deposited in the fund. Moneys in the
fund shall be used for resource recovery and litter abatement activities.
